• Yeah, its pretty fun, do not get me wrong; but saleswise, it flopped. why? because people aren't as eager to spend $120 plus tax, or even 100 dollars plus tax on something new and unfamiliar as they were in 2004 when Harmonix released the original Guitar Hero game; and yet, they already confirmed another installment in a series they lost money on, hence they contiue their downward plunge. Its as if the bigwigs live by the saying: "If at first they dont succeed, try, try, try, try, try, cut half the staff, try, try again, bah forget this, MORE CALL OF DUTY NOW." It happened to Tony Hawk games, I predict RIDE will be the last we see of the Tony Hawk series for a while, Guitar Hero, sadly, has been slowly but surely driven into the ground and reduced to a mere shadow of the product Harmonix created. DJ Hero hasn't had its chance to show its potential due to the economy, and now they've set their sights on the Call of Duty series. Face it, Activision is the new Evil EA. They'll just keep exploiting and exploiting what they have until they run out of cards and go under, or get their act together.

• Have you even played dj hero? Its better than any guitar hero since 2

• HMMMMMM, I wonder why??? Band Hero? guitar Hero 5? DJ Hero? World At War? Total lack of GOOD GH DLC support? They spit out all of these mediocre games one after another, How can they NOT lost money. Guitar Hero is definatly guilty of this, Metallica being their last heartfelt installment in the series, almost a year ago already. You can only fool people with shitty games with formerly good series names for so long before the wool is lifted from their eyes. Sucks to be those who lost jobs and have families to support (best of luck to them) because of a bunch of corporate dumbasses thinking the best way to make money is to drain every last bit of profitability out of a game. Corporate NEVER knows better, this should be an established fact. Quality not Quanity Activision. You can release 5 derivitives of Guitar Hero, but when only 1 is good and actually turns a profit in sales, you have problems.

• See, this is what happens when you allow big business to buy your company. You'll get screwed in the end one way or another. Neversoft and Red Octane, you've received your just deserts. Remember when you guys were just a budding developer in the beginning and still making good games? Wonder how Blizzard feels about this and if they're regretting their decision. Regardless if it seriously effects them financially, they still have to deal with the fact they're paired up with this turd of a company.

• Your information regarding ATVI's forth quarter results are completely false. "For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, Activision Blizzard's GAAP net revenues were $1.56 billion. On a non-GAAP basis, the company's net revenues were $2.50 billion." http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=444224

• they fired over half of the Prototype team...the only original game they released this year. shows you what their intentions are. BANK ON THEM SEQUELS guitar hero is already dead, wonder how long until Call of Duty follows suit.

• How can they have the fastest and one of the biggest selling game in history (MW2) and LSOE money? Obviously they must be doing something wrong. Talk about crap management.

• Maybe if they stop flooding the market with tons of shitty games people would start buying more and pirating less.

• I hope they fire the MW2 staff as well. especially Robert Bowling.

• If they stopped making shitty games, they might make a profit.

• LOL good thing i hate Activision, I feel bad for the people that got laid off, but seriously I hope Activion/Blizzard stop just trying to make money off bad games, hopefully this opens there eyes......but it won't......greedy basterds

• Wow, are you serious, this is like totally insane. jess www.isp-logging.net.tc
