Activision still has that partnership with Bungie that should be profitable and (semi-)annual CoD's will keep them in decent shape.

There's also a major Spyro revival planned, a new Spider-man game, more new IPs in the works and of course their real cash-cow (Blizzard). Activision's going to do fine financially, and putting Tony Hawk & Guitar Hero to rest (for awhile) was probably a smarter move than anything. Shame about True Crime though.

Poor, poor spyro his good name is going to get very tarnished very fast, and I don't see any new IP from activision being a good game...

Yeah... the Spyro reveal's been awful to say the least.
I don't understand why Activision didn't just go to Insomniac once the 3rd party word got out, and pay them big bucks to do a AAA Spyro revival. Or hell, go to one of the Insomniac offshoots like High Impact. Same deal with Crash actually, I think a new Crash from RAD would probably get a lot of people interested in the series again...

Because Activision doesn't care about the quality of the game just the sales and the name will sell it more then the devs will, most people will run out and buy the game just cuz it's spyro, everything in Activisions hands will get milked until it dies then thrown away

Milking and quality control are definitely issues for Activision. Their handling of Blizzard and Bungie though (ie: hands off) gives me some hope they'll recognize the inherent strengths of and do the same for Rockstar if there's a TT takeover. It really would be the smartest course.
