Let Christmas come, it'll do well for us, but as everything over, again we'll give a BOOM, by letting Rockstar release "Grand Theft Auto 4" in Jan/Feb 2004, which BY THE WAY is going to be ONLINE.

I was shocked by this, if he is right, then this is going to give one "HELL" of a competition to HALO 2. but.....I was like
