Forums - Sales Discussion - Activision are idiots? PS2/PS3 accounts for 40% of all gaming revenue

Activision blizzard makes the most money out of the wii yet they only give it crap games. Why don't they make a good game for it once... Sick and tired of all this crap ports.

Nice fanboy spin, but I think I'll believe what every professional said more than a handful of fanboys on an unknown board : 'It doesn't make sense and it's a bluff. They'd shoot themselves in the foot.'

Plus, honestly I never bought a single Activision game (except COD4 on my PC), so I don't even see why I would care, even less why Sony would be so doooomed. I would be more important if he was talking about the 360 since they had zero AAA exclusive this year and 360 fans are mostly shooter fans. PS3 had Killzone 2 anyway which easily kills COD4.



there's a difference between revenue and profit. We don't know what are the individual costs of creating PS3 games nor do we know what royalties does activision pay per copy sold

Mario64, what the...?
I'm a huge Sony fanboy, and I KNOW that if Activision drops Sony support, Sony will completely lose hold of america, as in, no chance at all of making a comeback (as much as the chances for that are slim now (hah hah, see what I did there?)), they will probably lose Europe too, the COD franchise is one of the biggest franchises right now, and guitar hero/tony hawk are not that tiny either.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

@RoI : yeah, I didn't say I loved my 360, and you disagree both with the facts (90+ 360 exclusive full games on meta = zero is a fact you can check) and with my opinions, so clearly I'm screwed.

I'm starting to be really afraid now.

Sorry if I hurt your precious console and your feelings, I just happen to prefer my PS3.

But you're right, people here know probably more about Kotick and Activision than professionals like Bioware who work in the industry. I should have known more.



I particularly enjoyed how leo-j claims that Activision would lose from profits from selling GH songs or from movie-based games like Spiderman

I guess the music industry does not get a cut of those songs sold and I'm sure Activision doesn't have to pay royalties for a game that could end up not selling on PS3

The music and movie industry are such nice people!



What are you looking at, nerd?

lol I haven't claimed anything I just posted an article from playstationlifestyle, none of that is me

I don't really care for what you wrote in this post, but I'd like to ask you something: Why did you choose mario64 as your username?

After his countless accounts that got banned after the Tony parker one.

“If any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator. That’s something I can say with 100 percent confidence. Mario is, for game creators, the development bible.

@RoI : I don't care with your posts either (actually people care enough about my posts to talk to me constantly, now I feel I must say something true since people are trying so hard). The answer is simply because I loved Mario 64. I think it's one of the greatest games ever... What else ?
