@twesterm

I'm seeing conflicting reports of release dates for Ghostbusters. Do you know anything about that? Does February 5th sound right to you?

He will not respond to this b/c of NDA agreements. Then again I might be wrong but I doubt it.

I know he can't talk about the game, but I was hoping that release date would be different.

Nope, can't talk release dates or even possible publishers. I only posted the article because it wasn't actually about Ghostbusters.

Nintendo instantly proves them wrong - just look at MarioKart Wii / WiiFit. No sequels there, just a "once a generation" quality title - they just keep selling every year.

Sounds like Activision is trying desperately hard to become the next EA - with $400m/qrt losses.

Eventually those franchises, will "weaken", sales will drop - they will pour more dev money into them, increasing their losses, they will have to release more and more titles to cover them...
