The digital focus extends to other aspects of the Activision catalog, as the company said Call of Duty: WWII digital preorders are making up a larger percentage of the game's reservations than for previous installments in the franchise. Activision Blizzard also said the game is outperforming the original Destiny on time spent per player and expansion pass attach rate, and with the launch of the PC version, has surpassed the original Destiny in consumer spend. More than half of the Destiny 2 console copies sold through to consumers were digitally distributed, an all-time high for the company. (The remaining revenues came from the company's studios and distribution businesses, or its Major League Gaming division.) At the same time last year, the numbers were 74% digital and 22% retail. For the first nine months of the year, 81% of Activision Blizzard revenues came from digital sources, while retail accounted for just 14% of the total. King's contribution was 29% of revenues in both quarters.Īctivision Blizzard's numbers also called attention to the publisher's increasing shift to digitally derived revenues. That's a striking turnaround from the same quarter last year, when Activision generated less than half that amount ($377 million), just 24% of the company's total, while Blizzard was the star performer with 47% of the revenue ($729 million). At the same time, net income was down 6% to $188 million.Īctivision accounted for $759 million in net revenues for the quarter, or 42% of the company's total, while Blizzard and King split the remaining amount almost evenly, 29% each. Last quarter, it was Activision's turn.Īctivision Blizzard today reported its financial results for the fiscal third quarter (three months ended September 30), and Activision's launch of Destiny 2 during the period helped propel the publisher to a modest 3% growth in year-over-year revenues to $1.62 billion. Some quarters, it's the Blizzard part of Activision Blizzard that brings home the bacon.
