Activision Blizzard, publisher of all things Guitar Hero, Call of Duty and creator of World of Warcraft, predicts that the Wii will continue to sell in 2009. In fact, it will nearly double the sales of the Xbox 360 and Sony Playstation 3 — 8 million and 8 million, respectively — in North America and in the UK, with around 16 million units sold. With that said, this could go one of two ways: First, more Imagine games or second, the development of some new IP’s. I prefer the latter.
In terms of profit the Wii brought in the most money for Activision, raking in 15% of its earnings for 2008, while the DS took in 7%, taking first in their respective hardware categories. Oh boy, the sight of all these numbers and money gives me butterflies.
