What does Activision have besides cut and paste Call of Duty?

EA has at least several popular IPs (Old Republic, Mass Effect, Dead Space, the sports games, etc.) but Activision has put all their eggs in the Call of Duty basket.

If I were an Activision stockholder, I would sell now while it's at the peak value because depending on one release for an entire year's profit is not sustainable. Call of Duty will (hopefully) go the way of the Hawk and the plastic instrument game and will be a slight footnote in the annals of gaming when people finally move on from buying annual "roster update" shooters.

Transformers

Prototype

Marvel

Tony Hawk

Goldeneye

Guitar Hero

Skylanders

Singularity

Soldier of Fortune

I could go on...

Transformers mediocre game but War was okay

Prototype mediocre first game

Marvel not one decent game released except for Shattered Dimentions maybe

Tony Hawk dead and buried due mostly to consumer fatigue

Goldeneye hapless imitation/cashing in the goodwill from the N64 game

Guitar Hero see The Hawk

Skylanders don't know enough about this one

Singularity decent game, horrible sales

Soldier of Fortune you're kidding me, right

I could go on...

Unlike EA which has several AAA blockbusters (trust me, I take no pleasure in posting anything positive about EA), Activision has two (one of which is run completely separately from the rest of the company and is experiencing significant subscriber losses) and it is unsustanable to have all their eggs in that one basket.

Too bad they are putting all their eggs in one basket. Sure it's going great now but what will happen when that ship sinks ...

They've got Blizzard who makes WoW, Diablo and Starcraft. Not to mention Bungie.

Maybe you should do some research.Just an idea.

They used to have Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk, but they drove those into the ground by doing exactly what they're doing with Call of Duty now. I think it's inevitable.

They do publish other games, but it seems like every one of them is just some cheap thing rushed out months before it was finished. And they don't tend to advertise them at all so they usually sell like crap, and then Kotick will probably cancel their future projects.

Of course there's World of Warcraft, but that's Blizzard and basically seperate from Activision. If you look the game up on Gamespot or Wikipedia, Activision isn't even mentioned.

Guitar Hero and Skylanders are terrible. The rest is actually really good.

Pitfall

The title of this blog should be:What does Activision have besides cut and paste Call of Duty adventures?:P

Activision has that nutjob CEO Bobbby Kotick who likes to brag about being greedy and milking successful video game franchises. That and Activision released some good Atari 2600 games around 30 years ago. That's about it.

They dont have anything besides Call Of Duty.

I haven't bought a Activision game in ages. The only upcoming game that looks even some what interesting is Prototype 2.

As far as im concerned Activision has nothing to offer.
