- Mike Griffith: "Simply put, on Call of Duty, each year has been better than the year before."
- Call Of Duty Poducts Have Totalled Over 35 Million Units

- "Griffith says the concept of Blur falls in between the hardcore tuner sims and just-for-fun arcade racers. Mario Kart in particular shows the potential for a well-crafted mainstream racing game. But where Mario Kart was limited to one system, Blur will be multiplatform, Griffith notes. He throws to a trailer with the tagline that the company wants it to do to racing games what Call of Duty did to shooters."
- The next question is on how to monetize the Battle.net platform. Morhaime simply responds, "I'm not ready to talk about that today."
