Actually no. It's to my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) that PC games are usually cheaper because there are no console royalties to pay. So, in essence, the $10 a consumer saves by buying the game on PC are the $10 (give or take a few dollars, dunno the exact number) that the console maker, be it Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo would get from a game on their console. So, in essence, Activision and every PC game developer sees the same return by charging less.
With this, Activision are earning more on the game on PC per copy than they're earning on the consoles
