Forums - Sales - Activision is the #1 3rd Party Developer for Nintendo in the US

FishyJoe on 31 July 2008

This factoid and a few other things were in Activision's latest earnings report. Wii has shot up to 22% of their revenue from 8%, equalling the 360.

Once the merger with Blizzard is complete, they will pass EA as the largest third party game developer.

What games Activision release on Wii appart from Guitar Hero?



FishyJoe on 31 July 2008

Sooooo....

Activision increases Wii/DS support and has record earnings.

EA says it blew it by not developing for the Wii and posts disappoint loss.

Interesting.

Those revenues must be mostly coming from Guitar Hero... is there any other Activision title selling well on Wii?

Indeed, it's how it should be anyway.

 



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

If revenue from Wii software equals revenue from 360 software, the logical conclusion is that third party games don't sell on the 360. Microsoft is in big trouble.

 

I love the blatantly obvious logic you use, always the most entertaining posts in a thread.

According to the report, Kung Fu Panda is raking in the cash. What other games they have that are selling, I don't know.

Reminds me of that thread where someone looked at the first week GH:Aerosmith sales and declared the Wii a failure for third party software developers.
