Well, revenue-wise console and portable business of ATVI has made $2.4B (GAAP) in 2009, WoW's money are around $1.2B, though unlike console and portable business it's likely all profit since costs of maintaining service ain't that high. So overall Activision-Blizzard including some low-revenue incomes form social and mobile gaming etc. is under $3.8B at best. For comparison Nintendo's 2009 has generated around $6.4B in revenue from games (Wii and DS platforms only).
