Makes sense, 1up essentially just copied all of their news stories from IGN anyway. Although I am not sure what this adds to IGN since 1up probably gets about 0.1% of the audience of IGN.

Less competition and more ad revenue.

I don't think 1up was at all competition for IGN. I am not sure how 1up is going to increase their margins much either, not without dumping some serious promotion into the site. We're talking the difference between a site which gets thousands of viewers to one which gets millions.
