It is interesting fact that even with that ridiculously high profit from WoW ActivisionBlizzard actually made only 113 million profit last year so without wow they would have made 887 million losses (more than EA or Sony) even though they released biggest game of the year (modern warfare 2). I really wonder why Blizzard merged with Activision....

Well your getting confused with revenue (what is being listed here) and profit but its hard to imagine that WoW is'nt incredibly profitable.

 

Im not sure that the increased segmentation by having 'MMOs for everyone' is the future.  Conan, WAR and some other recentish ones have performed quite poorly and that leads to little further development and a slow lingering decline.

Indeed. While 1bln profit on 1bln revenue is impossible, I wouldn't be surprised if WoW profit were anyway bigger than 113 million and the whole Blizzard profit even bigger, making Blizzard the only one keeping Blizzard-Activision profitable...
