Bobby Kotick said he would gladly give up that $152,000,000.

Yes he did. And since the installed base for the PS3 and PSP will only grow, that number will too... Good thing he was BSing.

Isn't Sony at 24 milli shipped? With 16 milli, and 3-4 milli from Japan, (Activision) is telling me that there are 3-4 milli consoles on shelves?

now you see why blizzard is in the company name now, jesus christ! :lol


thing is, is all that going back into R&Ding blizzard games, or will it be used in the future to bailout Activision side of things as they will have run all their franchises (and profits) into the ground, i hope for the former, but I fear it will be the latter.

which will either result in shoddier blizzard games "cashing in" yearly, or pulling the whole company down.


also its interesting that even though like half of wows playerbase is in asian countries they only make up 7% of total revenue? :lol

That's not unusual. 3-4 million isn't a whole lot when you spread them out.

I'm sure some minor territories are missing here, which combined might dent that difference a wee bit. And it's obviously missing what's still at retail.

There's a similar difference with 360 numbers and Wii's I think even, aswell.

PS. what non WoW MMORPGs does Acti even operate?

Kotick could “raise prices even further”

Activision CEO admits that if it were left to him trade price hikes would have been higher

With retail and consumers alike still getting to grips with the prospect of shelling out £54.99 for November’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has admitted that he would like to push prices even higher.

When asked about the controversial subject as part of Activision’s post-financial investor call, president Michael Griffith stated: “We’ve had for all of our launch titles in the back half of this year, some of which contain peripherals, very strong retailer acceptance and support for all parts of our plan including our price points.”

At which point Kotick added: “You know if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.”

So he wants hardware prices cut but would love to make software more expensive...hmmm.

Sounds like he is setting up for a massive collapse. Increased prices + 47 sequels (how many renames will the CoD series have for example) will see a lot of people get sick of their games just like Tony Hawk and now Guitar Hero.

Do that Kotick, can't wait to see when your shitty policies explodes in your face, it won't be this year or the next one, but it will happen (always happens) and I'll be here to laugh. He has been lucky to sign with some great developers (and then treated them like shit in gratitude, ask Harmonix) and to make the deal with Vivendi, but keep treating your costumers like shit and you will see how far you arrive.

Great, my Activision boycott will continue. Meanwhile, I hope EA becomes profitable to show everyone that you can both care about games and customers and make money at the same time.

The MMO is like a beautiful siren leading you to your demise. I guess that makes Blizzard beeswax or something.

It's depressing Activision will be kept afloat by Blizzard. I would have loved to see the company go down in flames.
