Okay you made your oppinions and facts seem not to work here.

Financial reports from EA, UbiSoft and Activision are just not enough.

Activision: Mimimimi bad games, mimimimi bad timing (it is the latest!)


EA: Mimimimi they never made good PC games,
They don't include this (FACE IT: EVERY revenue is included. They have to. Check the report:

the bolded is the number for TOTAL REVENUE of ELECTRONIC ARTS! There is no "Distribution Section" that generates any kind of revenue.

UbiSoft: mimimimimi they lost money anyway! Talking about Splinter Cell Conviction?! this game wasn't even released in this time.

As I said before: I never doubt that MMOs are huge on PC. They are and are very profitable. Same for Facebook / social network games. But there is not much left.

One guy asked for THQ:

  • Xbox 360: 237 million USD
  • PS3: 200 million USD
  • Wii: 137 million USD
  • PC: 72 million USD

    • PC accounts for only 8% of the revenue.

    As always the profit is not split by platforms.

    But I am thrilled to hear why THQ doesn't count either.

    I actually had no idea for THQ but let me demonstarte why your logic is retarded.

    Look at the figures you linked for EA. Look at the PC then look at the Wii then back at the PC. Notice something. By your logic, the Wii is the console that is the most worthless and no one should bother with it. Now if you are trying to tell me that the Wii is less profitable than the PC, the PS3, or the 360, then you are just a damned fool and an idiot, or you are wrong and just hate to admit it.
