Les chiffres sont spectaculaires....mais le stock "taponne".....
To call the new mega-hit game “Call of Duty: Black Ops” a success would be the understatement of 2010 in video games. Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) has set a record in sales and been given much gamer praise. The game’s first five days broke $650 million in global sales. The game launch did not do any magic for GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) in its earnings this morning as the release was after its quarter-end.
Here is the thing to consider. “Call of Duty: Black Ops” was not only a record in-store video game debut sales. It is a record for box office sales, online video game sales, apps, and other media sales. Selling a game for $59.95 a pop and having a mega-hit can pass most forms of media when you consider a movie average now around $10.00 plus or minus a bit in most cities. This is a call of duty to gamers. When you consider that Black Friday is on the way and the praised Christmas and holiday season is around the corner, this game launch has a shot at being a $1 billion game even before the end of calendar-2010.
