Forums - Sales Discussion - Activision posts losses for 4th quarter

It's a NET loss, which means that any asset purchasing or other major costs could be involved. In real terms, they may have profited.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I think they need to end Wii/DS development, then I predict they will profit. Those platforms drag all publishers down it's clear. Which is why most are ending reliance on them.



so how much did Kotick get paid again?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Confusing, why are there profit and lose articles same time?

How can you make a lose in a profit and vice versa?

They made a net loss for the quarter but a net profit for the full year.

Good. Maybe they can start being innovating again.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

There are lots of different numbers being thrown around. Combinations of the following choices:

1- Operating vs Net numbers

2- Quarterly vs Yearly numbers

3- GAAP vs Non-GAAP (the latter basically means "oh we excluded this and that because we don't think it's a fair or important indicator of our results").

So they posted a loss despite MW2 and the cashcow that is World of Warcraft?

I wonder how Activision would be doing with Blizzard to prop them up.
