It's 70% of profit, not revenue-

Revenue on its own means sod all.

Exactly.


like i said, that is with the MMOs aka WoW.

To quote myself:

It might be that the MMORPG part makes more profit than consoles, but it is no big news that WoW is big. The rest of the PC business is pretty small as you can see at the numbers above. That is what I am saying for some time now.

And the profit with normal PC games is significantly smaller than on consoles.

Ok so not only are we "not counting" MMO subscriptions, we are going on a financial report of one quarter of the year fresh from the release of MW2.

So, when Activision releases a version of its biggest IP in the midst of not releasing anything on PC for a good long while, that's a fair argument? You've gotta be kidding me.

 

Aren't you one of those people I see in threads about MS profitability, bringing up Live subscriptions in an effort to show whether ps3 or 360 is more profitable?
