Forums - Gaming - Activision stock is Down 17% in less than a Month, mainly due to Destiny and weak outlook

Now for EA and Ubisoft getting what they deserve for gimping their games.



Around the Network

I don't think much of this has to do with Destiny(though maybe their expectations were to high) but more of the eventual CoD fatigue that's been settling in ever since the 8th gen launched. the same thine happened to Guitar Hero and Rockband, if you keep serving the same stuff with added fluff people will get tired of it.



Game || WoW drop off

CoD MW3 || -83.6%

CoD MW 2 360 ||  -83.0%

Destiny xbone ||  -82.6%

Destiny ps4 || -82.5%

GTA V ps3 ||   -81.7%

CoD MW 2 ps3 ||  -81.6%

GTA V 360  ||   -81.6%

CoD Black Ops 360 ||  -81.3%

Halo 3 || -79.5%

CoD Black Ops ps3 ||  -77.6%

CoD MW3 ps3 || -78.3%

GTA IV ps3 || -74.7%

Uncharted 3 || -74.1%

GTA IV 360 || -72.9%

Gears of War 2 || -72.0%

GT 5 ||  -68.1%

 

...don't mind me.  just listing some of the top selling games ever..

And Another one bites the dust.
Mark my words, in two years big third partys will fall down or go mobile (maybe with an exception of Rockstar). The fate of Crytek awaits!


Not every AAA company pulls crappy business practises like Activision.

It was the biggest critical flop relative to expectations for a large budget title in a very long time.


This writer clearly doesn't know what SW:ToR is or Elder Scrolls Online. "article" is written like many of the "you should hate destiny because I hate destiny" threads that have been knocking about here the past weeks/months it's getting pretty sad at this stage, to even try to spin the fact that sales drop after launch week as a negative about a game is just trolling really.

As for the people suggesting that Activision is going to be gone soon and it will follow mobile developers... please take a second to consider that activision are currently worth $14 billion, they aren't going anywhere because some whiny ex writer for some third rate site would like to get some hits on his angry blog.

I'm really doubting whether to get the game on PS4. It's not the gamer hate that leaves me undecided, but the general outlook. It's an incomplete game at launch with a lackluster story and poor looting/farming elements, and no amount of DLC's can fix it. The worst thing is that despite of the stock lowering 17%, they already made their millions and will attempt to do this in the future since it filled their pockets.


I am waiting for the price to go down and release a GOTY edition which has the most essential DLC but knowing Activision (Black Ops II is still full price on Steam), I'm not getting my hopes up.


Oh yeah, that game Black Ops 2, it could be they paid uber expensive budget on low quality game. Just sayin! :S



I'm sure Word of Warcraft trends aren't helping the situation. Also the negative feedback of Beta and PTR being a mess right now.

destiny and  ghosts realy hit em hard. both games are just bad for the money they spend on it.

they have a major problem in the managment.



Destiny is a lot better than a 6/10 but Bungie completely f'd up by not having a proper storyline, would have reviewed and been received much better.

The first impression is the story and it's probably the worst in a game that tries to have a story. However, after you get over the initial and massive disappointment and continue playing with your friends it actually provides more hours of fun than most games.



Good.
