Activision Second Quarter Results Cause Cancellations
Officials from Activision have announced financial results for the second quarter and the six-month period ended September 30. For the second quarter net revenues were $117.5 million, compared to $169.2 million in the previous year and the net loss was $10.1 million or a loss of $0.11 per share ? this compares to a net income of $9.1 million or $0.08 per diluted share at the same time last year.
For the six-month period net revenues were down from $360.4 million to $276.2 million and a net loss was posted of $5.9 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net income of $29.8 million or $0.28 per diluted share last year.
A significantly smaller release schedule was blamed for the relatively weak results, although the company?s answer to this was to immediately cancel three multiformat titles, namely Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder 2, Street Hoops 2, and Trinity. It was also announced that Doom 3 would not be released until after the end of the financial year in April 2004.
Third quarter results are expected to be significantly better though, with the release of heavily hyped titles such as Call of Duty, True Crime: Streets of LA and Tony Hawk?s Underground. The company has raised its forecasts for this period to $390 million or $0.45 per diluted share. The outlook for the full financial year, despite the delay of Doom 3, has also been raised from $750 million to $780 million.
Delay Doom 3?
Again, I smell fish rotting on the docks...
btw, I know it's petty to say it, but what the hey all of us have our petty moments: Nanner, neener neener neener, I told you so. }~
Best,

Wonder what the hold up is for Doom 3. By the time they get it out, it's graphics won't be anything special. Why in the hell are they holding it back another year???
Seriously, ATVI is really starting to piss me off to the point I think D3 will be the last game I will get from them. They already screwed up SFC3 enough. I cannot believe it's been a whole damn year since SFC3 was released and still no official patch approved by them.

You'd only have to go rent a few and compare the game structures and credits to their openly sold soft porn games (volleyball,skater,trek) and I'm sure you'd find actiwision's "porn pseudonym" if you will...

Who could pass up JA? It was well done. We can thank Raven and Lucasarts for that.
