Take-Two Interactive (TTWO +0.92%) had a much better 2013 than its rival video game publishers. But you wouldn't know that by comparing the companies' stocks. Despite massively outperforming profit and sales expectations -- and releasing the year's biggest game in Grand Theft Auto V -- Take-Two is trailing industry giants Electronic Arts (EA 0.07%) and Activision Blizzard (ATVI +0.00%).

That's why investors should watch closely for updates on the company's game pipeline for 2014 and beyond, which Take-Two should announce in the coming months.
