Activision Is Making More Money On PC Than Consoles For the First Time
Activision’s latest financial report marks the third quarter in a row that PC outsold console, and there’s reason to believe the trend will continue throughout 2023. Activision attributes its 74% increase in PC revenue since this time last year to the success of Call of Duty and Overwatch 2, but it also specifically highlights higher revenues for WoW: Dragonflight and Diablo Immortal (two games that aren’t on console). Blizzard is currently the largest factor in the PC’s growth within Activision. While Blizzard games are only making about half as much as Call of Duty, 72% of that revenue is on PC and just 8% is on console. Call of Duty’s revenue is more evenly split: 59% console, 26% PC, and 15% mobile. Blizzard’s console audience could grow significantly when Diablo 4 launches in June simultaneously on PC and consoles (a first for the series).
Zoom out on Activision’s numbers, and you can see the PC is gaining ground in Activision’s yearly reports, too. Last year, the company recorded the smallest gap between console and PC revenue in recent history: just $100 million. That’s several hundred million less than 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017. If the year goes on like this, 2023 could be the year that the PC becomes Activision’s second-biggest platform behind mobile (Candy Crush continues to crush).

Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 Projected To Make Less Money Than Predecessor In First Weekend
[UPDATE] New box office tracking estimates from Variety suggest that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 should make $120 million in the US this weekend for its opening. That would be well above the first-weekend results of the original movie ($94 million) but significantly under 2017’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ($146.5 million). The report said Vol. 3 might fall even shorter than expectations and make $110 million-$118 million.
The initial box office estimates from April said Vol. 3 might make $130 million over its first three days stateside and that those predictions might be conservative because the marketing campaign hadn’t fully ramped up. But now that the marketing machine is in full gear, Vol. 3 is tracking even lower.
“That points to either mounting indifference to the newest phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or a sign that Disney waited too long to conclude the Guardians story, which began nearly a decade ago…” Variety reported.
