– First Quarter Net Revenues and EPS Ahead of Prior Outlook – – Company Increases CY 2010 EPS Outlook –

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 6, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ — Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced better-than-expected financial results for the first quarter 2010.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Activision Blizzard’s GAAP net revenues were $1.3 billion, and its non-GAAP net revenues were $714 million.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, Activision Blizzard’s reported GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.30, and the company’s non-GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.09.


Ubisoft’s “Just Dance” has been outrageously successful for them, and it’s set to pass the 3 million sold mark very soon. To celebrate, Ubisoft is holding a cross-country talent search for the best dancer in France, the UK, and the United States, each of which will be flown to Ubisoft Paris to have their dance moves recorded and featured in Just Dance 2. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal! Do we have any dancers out there!?

My Fireplace

An ESRB rating has recently popped up for a new Wii game (probably WiiWare) called “My Fireplace”. I can only assume that the developer behind the game, Korner Entertainment S.L., has seen the lack fireplace simulators on Wii and decided it was time to fill that gap. Unless of course you run the homebrew channel on your Wii and have the “FireWii” application, which displays an interesting looking “fire” over a black background. You know, for those nights when your local TV station isn’t running the all-night fireplace.
