News: Take Two has released their financial results for the 2003 fourth quarter and a list of what's ahead for 2004.

Take Two Interactive put out a press release this morning announcing the company has earned record sales for the 2003 fiscal year. For the fiscal year that ended October 31, Take Two had net sales of $1.04 billion (that's billion with a B). This is an increase of over $245 million compared to last year.
