Take-Two have announced that the critical mis-step that was Duke Nukem Forever has turned a profit for the publishers, suggesting that the game did OK at retail regardless of reviews.
“Despite its disappointing reviews, Duke Nukem Forever was profitable for Take-Two,” it said in its quarterly review.
Perhaps not a great surprise, being that they were only working on the game for the last twelve months alongside Gearbox – as far as we know 3D Realms self funded the previous thirteen years worth of development.
Bodes well for a decent sequel, though.

I am just happy to see the fate of Duke’s franchise in the hands of Take-Two. At least this shows that the franchise still has interest. A profit will surely lead to a sequel that will surely be heaps better. The future is looking bright for Duke again.
