Take Two Interactive (TTWO) update

The July video game sales numbers just came out and they are fairly encouraging. Aggregate industry sales are up 22%. Take Two Interactive (TTWO) saw even larger gains as described in the article:

Meanwhile, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.'s shares dropped 2 cents to $10.62 on the Nasdaq. The company saw sales rise 34 percent, helped by easy year-ago comparisons and gained one percentage point of market share to 8 percent.

Note the casual reference to the market share increase of 1%. When you break it down, going from 7% to 8%, this translates into a 14% gain in market share.

I wrote a post earlier this week on TTWO as a value play, it is accessible here.
