In Duh News Of The Day, Activision has confirmed that their future plans include new installments in their blockbuster franchises Guitar Hero, Spider Man, and Call of Duty.  From a “3rd quarter financial call”:

“In 2010, Activision publishing is expected to release a strong product line of innovative new titles,” said Activision chief financial officer Thomas Tipple. “The diversified lineup will include, among others, titles based on the best-selling franchises in the company’s history, including Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Shrek, and Spiderman, and a select few new intellectual properties such as Blur and Singularity, and a strong catalog based on our top sellers of 2009.”

Ugh I hate the use of the phrase “intellectual properties”. It basically means “here’s something else we’re going to try to milk for all its worth, no matter how ridiculous or desperate it appears to be”. I also find it hilarious that they used the world “diversified” in the same breathe as mentioning all the franchises they will continue to squeeze every last drop out of. More of the same? Yup, that’s diverse!

Still though, the world can never have enough Call of Duty, am I right?
