Gamers might be hating on “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare” now, but Activision doesn’t care because its Q3 earnings report is the highest it has ever been. At a staggering 58 percent increase in net revenue year-over-year, the video game publisher is riding high prior to the release of what is likely to be yet another blockbuster FPS title.
Digital video game sales exploded to 114 percent during Q3 to reach $1.3 billion for the company, Forbes reports. So Activision is doing very well in a market saturated with other titles from big name competitors.
The report also included active monthly users for both Activision and Blizzard, with both entities holding record numbers at 46 million and 42 million users respectively. Unsurprisingly, the smash hit “Overwatch” took the cake as the main driving force behind the success that Blizzard has seen for Q3, with over 20 million players worldwide. “World of Warcraft” did very well too, largely thanks to the latest expansion called “Legion.”
As for Activision, much of its success this quarter is thanks to “Call of Duty: Black Ops III,” which is handily outpacing other titles based on numbers sold for the current console generation. Unfortunately, the final expansion for “Destiny” called “Rise of Iron” didn’t make as much of an impact as expected.
Based on the number of dislikes versus likes that “Infinite Warfare” has gotten with all of the trailers released, a significant chunk of gamers are not thrilled about the direction that Activision has taken with this particular addition to the franchise. There’s also the worrying fact that the latest Call of Duty installment is going up against other high rollers, including “Battlefield 1” and “Titanfall 2,” USA Today reports.
Both titles from EA are critically acclaimed and are highly recommended by reviewers and gamers alike. The World War 1 simulator is a clear chart-topper. Unfortunately, the sci-fi shooter that involves giant robots is currently hurting in sales.
