Forums - Sales Discussion - Activision reports Q4 results

These results may seem complicated at first: their reported net income is a 72 million dollar loss. However, this is because they deferred a substantial portion of their revenue: without deferments (which I will explain later), their net income was 429 million.

Here are the results in more detail: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/activision-reports-loss-game-sales/story.aspx?guid=%7B57CAA84E%2D28A8%2D45C9%2DB732%2DCA8A7D890F14%7D&siteid=yhoof

PC: 25%
Wii: 22%
360: 19%
PS2: 14%

And for the year:

Not bad, nice profits. With wii as 22% of revenu as well! Seems to be different from alot of the other third parties.

Consoles Owned: NES, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, Game Boy, DS

This is Blizzivision isn't it? So we can guess where the 45% PC revenue comes from. Could I have the explanation of how they managed a loss with huge sales, and masses of WoW income



Wii revenue is higher then i was expecting...



In before "Higher revenue for a platform does not mean higher profit".

Didn't we earlier got news Guitar Hero Metallica on Wii would be after the 360/PS3 versions? Their list updated today seems to indicate it will come out in Q1 like the other 2 versions.



How does the PS2 give them more revenue than the PS3?



Tease.

I suspect the high revenues for both the PS2 and Wii are related to the very high sales of Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour on those platforms

 



Wii the reason for loss?



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

^^Guitar Hero sell better on PS2 than PS3 and it bring a lot of revenue in.  For those wondering about the PC revenue, 22 of the 25% of the last quarter is from WOW(MMOG) and 41 of the 45% for the year.
