Take-Two's Q2 2008 financial results revealed its net revenue more than doubled compared to last year (from $205.4 million to $539.8 million), not surprisingly led by GTA IV which has sold 8.5 million copies so far.

Bioshock, which so far has sold 2.2 million copies, will become a trilogy as Take Two CEO Zelnick hints at a 3rd title in the franchise to coincide with the,
previously rumored, but now confirmed movie.
