Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reports that NBA 2K27 sold 4 million copies, missing Take-Two's forecast and leaving fiscal second-quarter net bookings at $1.6 billion against Wall Street's $1.65 billion estimate. CEO Strauss Zelnick blamed competition from the November 19 release of Grand Theft Auto VI and a crowded September schedule, calling the results a "good news story" while Take-Two reiterated $8 billion to $8.2 billion in full-year bookings.
