shhh.
man, this makes me sad - from Blizzard being the Golden Goose of gaming to this. (Activision has been shit for a decade and only Hit on MW2 2019)Good. Fuck em. Acti-Blizzard fucking sucks.
Was there a title change? I don't see a claim MAU halved.
This is silly because most of Activision's revenue and operating profit is actually from the greedy mobile releases and MTXs. Without it Activision would have tanked way harder this quarter.Gotta love publishers seeing massive drops in revenues after getting greedy and trying to maximize revenue by targeting last gen consoles 2 years after next gen launch. It's clear no one wants to play their last gen trash. Locking Warzone 2 to last gen isnt going to help the way they think. Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 should help them recoup some of their lost revenue this year but i doubt they will be setting new records despite launching two of their most anticipated releases since MW2 all the way back in 2009.

No sympathy from me. Glad to see them get their comeuppance.
James Sawyer Ford First Sony. Now Activision. Whose next?
The day that closes is going to be fun.
That's dumb. They are greedy for wanting to make profit? seriously you must have a excellent business degree.Gotta love publishers seeing massive drops in revenues after getting greedy and trying to maximize revenue by targeting last gen consoles 2 years after next gen launch.

I really doubt the issue was cross gen (despite my distaste for it).Gotta love publishers seeing massive drops in revenues after getting greedy and trying to maximize revenue by targeting last gen consoles 2 years after next gen launch.

what did activation release?Sony’s drop is easily explained by lack of releases
Profit at the expense of quality is greed, Gordon Gekko.That's dumb. They are greedy for wanting to make profit? seriously you must have a excellent business degree.
Nope.This is silly because most of Activision's revenue and operating profit is actually from the greedy mobile releases and MTXs. Without it Activision would have tanked way harder this quarter.
Also their income is down to selling hardware at a loss and buying some studios.Sony’s drop is easily explained by lack of releases
Not too shabby when you consider one has hardware/software/accessories/MTX/subscriptions in that total and the other only has games/MTX and a WoW subscription. Thought the discrepancy would be larger.Operating Income
Sony PlayStation: 401m
Activision Blizzard: 338m
Sony also has a cut of every game sold on it's store.Sony had one release. Activision Blizzard had one release.
Nope.
I read your post wrong.I'm not sure what you're showing me. All I see is that a massive revenue decline was offset by King's Candy Crush Saga and massive MAU decline was offset by Diablo Immortal. ie the greedy mobile games full of mtxs are what's doing well for them.
Yes as one has hardware being sold at a loss and the costs of R&D for PSVR2 and buying studios. Not too shabby at all.Not too shabby when you consider one has hardware/software/accessories/MTX/subscriptions in that total and the other only has games/MTX and a WoW subscription.

BLizzard also made a couple of purchases btw Bungie wasn't in the Sony reports.Yes as one has hardware being sold at a loss and the costs of R&D for PSVR2 and buying studios. Not too shabby at all.
I don't believe that hardware is being sold at a loss, and haven't seen any proof of that since the PS3 days.Yes as one has hardware being sold at a loss and the costs of R&D for PSVR2 and buying studios. Not too shabby at all.
They had plenty of quarters last year with a total of zero releases. Jan-March, July to September, and no big holiday releases from October to December. Still sold way better than just 6.4 million units.Sony’s drop is easily explained by lack of releases
not what is happening however.Profit at the expense of quality is greed, Gordon Gekko.
Fanboys are pathetic and I've been an activision hater for years. hated bobby kotic since the early 2000's, and activision was the only company I ever considered take a dump on a game they published for PC and mail it back to them ( I seriously considered it!). However, there is no question how successful they have been. Anyone saying other wise is a pure fanboy.We get it guys, Activision Blizzard is now a failing company with sub par IPs so who cares if MS buys them /s . People don't have to keep releasing these articles, the check has already cleared the FTC board so the acquisition will be finalized regardless
People have hated Activision for decades now. They're up there with EA for most crappy company. Stripping them of the Spider-Man license was the best thing to happen.We get it guys, Activision Blizzard is now a failing company with sub par IPs so who cares if MS buys them /s .
