The shares of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc (NASDAQ:TTWO) are down 6.2% at $200.08 this morning, despite an impressive fiscal third-quarter earnings and revenue beat. The company also raised its annual sales targets as popular video game franchises like "NBA 2K" and "Grand Theft Auto" continue to see strong demand. The aforementioned titles may not be enough, however, as shares are facing pressure after Take-Two failed to announce immediate new game releases, though the company did say it expects to bring 93 new releases to the market in the next five years. A drop in fiscal third-quarter adjusted sales is also weighing on shares this morning.

In fact, 13 of the 21 in coverage considered TTWO a "buy" or better, while its 12-month consensus price target of $212.70 is a 6.1% premium to current levels..

Today's negative price action has the equity pulling back from the $214.91 all-time high hit yesterday, The equity just moved back below recent support at its 40-day moving average too, though the 50-day moving average is helping to keep some of these losses in check. Longer term, TTWO is up 80.6% year-over-year.
