According to Activision's 2008 FY report (pdf), PS3 publishing revenues were $241 million. There's probably some confusion here, but maybe Activision is not making that much profit from the PS3.

Wait, does that say they paid more for royalties than they made? Yeah right. maybe the reporter mis heard the dude. 5 million sounds a lot like 500 million right?
