Take-Two has reported its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2010, posting net revenues of $334.3 million (£208m) and profit of $40.9 million (£25.5m).
During the same period a year earlier, revenues were higher at $360.4 million (£224.3m), but profit was lower at $37.9 million (£23.6m).
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said: "Strong holiday sales enabled Take-Two to continue to deliver better-than-expected revenue and earnings in the third quarter.
"Our results year-to-date clearly demonstrate the Company's ability to translate its world-class creative resources and diverse portfolio of triple-A franchises into meaningful profits."
He added: "Looking ahead to the balance of the year and fiscal 2012, I have never been more enthusiastic about our diverse line-up of upcoming releases.
"From unique, groundbreaking new titles such as L.A. Noire, to the long anticipated return of Duke Nukem, the interactive entertainment industry's most irreverent hero, we will deliver a broad array of entertainment experiences that promise to delight audiences around the world."
We were massive fans of Red Dead, but that doesn't mean we thought it was perfect - check out what we'd like to see in any sequel here.

It really desreved to sell well, its a great game.
Pretty good figures too for take two, considering they havent released any blockbusters since RDR.

Its a tremendous game, I loved it.
However, the Legends and Killers DLC is very poo. I got it cheap the other day and I just don't see the point. The new arenas are so big it takes ages to find anyone to kill.
Undead Nightmare was awesome sauce though, so I forgive you, Rockstar.

Red Dead sells 8 million and the True Grit remake is doing the business at the box office. Long live the westerns!

Well said, for me it was the best game on 360 for 2010 so big up Red Dead/Rockstar and any one who played and enjoyed this game

I think Rockstar are a amazing dev but RDR is overrated
GTA San Andreas > RDR

Loved RDR, so that bodes well for a sequel, although I won't care if it doesn't come out for a couple more years or so. It was the multiplayer and posses that grabbed my attention before it came out, but it was a bit of a let down on that side. Would love to see it on PC with more than 16 players on the maps, as it's too big for 16 players.
Got Undead Nightmare and it's ok, I found the mechanics a little clumsy for close combat, but I should give it another go.
My 4th best game of last year, just after Bayonetta, Vanquish and Meat Boy.
