Activision si-a anuntat in cadrul unei conferinte fiscale castigurile pentru ultimul sfert de an din anul fiscal 2010 (care la ei coincide cu anul calendaristic). In aceasta perioada, compania a incasat $1.43 miliarde (o scadere fata de $1.65 anul trecut in aceeasi perioada), iar pe tot anul au incasat $4.45 miliarde (o crestere fata de $4.28 miliarde in 2009). Cu toate acestea, compania a inregistrat pierderi in Q4 de $233 milioane, desi a reusit sa aiba profit de $418 milioane pe tot anul.
Partea interesanta este ca $1.5 miliarde din totalul incasat pe tot anul a venit doar din vanzari digitale (o crestere de 20% fata de 2009 si 40% in Q4). La acest lucru au contribuit map packs-uri vandute pentru seria Call of Duty si diferite servicii in World of Warcraft.
