| c0rd said: Wait, Activision Blizzard tops Nintendo by that much for 2009's most successful publisher? Is that plausible? What was it like 2008? I was under the assumption it'd be complete Nintendomination. (edit) 2008 VGC numbers: America:

Somehow I doubt WoW and Starcraft II can make up the difference for that many millions units of software. |
Which is why it is a profit thing.... almost half of Activision-Blizzards revenue comes from World of Warcraft... and considering much of that is revenue being pulled in for a game that doesn't really need much spent on it it (some expansions are developed I presume) is a huge amount of profit.
Except that theory then doesn't fit with only 54% voting Nintendo the most profitable hardware manufacturer.
Arguably then it could be revenue instead of profit.... which then means having EA in third makes sense (EA haven't been making huge profit, but they still have huge revenue)
Except that also doesn't work for the hardware side.
