Today's news of the delay of BioShock 2 to sometime in 2010 (along with other games like Max Payne 3 and Mafia II) might sound like it's bad news for the game's publisher Take Two Interactive. After all the game is missing the lucrative fall/holiday shopping season where over 50 percent of all game purchases are made.

Not so fast, says Jesse Divinich. According to Destructoid, the analyst at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research says Take Two's move to push back BioShock 2 and other games could be the best thing possible for the publisher. Divinich is quoted as saying, "I originally anticipated that Take-Two would outperform the industry in fiscal 2010. Now, I expect them to dominate fiscal 2010." He basis this move on the belief that the release of BioShock 2, Mafia II, Max Payne 3 and other Take Two games in this period "should make fiscal 2010 the year of Take-Two."
