That makes no sense.... Blizzard should be raking in major money. Where is it all going to?

Like I said they had 278 million$ of costs due to the merger and closing some Sierra studios.

Discount that and they made over 160 million $ of profit in a quarter with no major release.

I definetly missed that 278 mil$ loss. That puts a lot of it in perspective.

So for Activision/Blizard WOW/PC = PS2+PS3+Wii+360?

Interesting numbers.

What's interesting is the fact that Blizzard is raking in more than Activision, since Activison has no MMOGs. I'm also fairly sure that 4% retail is almost solely BLizzard's.

Console + Handheld is 61% and PC is 46% with 7% rounding errors!

Also Activision would account for a lot of those PC games too.

Tease.

yeah I just fixed it. It's supposed to be 12% for handhelds, not 19%.

Yeah with the handheld, but I haven't heard of any Activision MMO doing anything great, or having more than 500k subscribers even.
