High-speed brokerage sees blizzard forecast four-quarter revenue blowout

(compiled/wendy) Blizzard will hold the quarterly and 2010 revenue meeting on February 9, before the US brokerage Cowen & Company increased its expectations. For the just-ended fiscal year, Cowen raised its expected revenue from $4.58 billion trillion to $4.77 billion, because "we expect the Call of Duty: Black Ops" and "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm" to hit the quarter's revenue blowout.　　"The expected growth in the next fiscal year, from 4.804 billion to $4.89 billion, describes the company's strong performance in many ways, even though investors are concerned that growth is up to the ceiling." Cowen Doug Creutz said: "We believe that despite some challenges, revenue from the 2011 fiscal year will still grow, stemming from the continued growth of the call of duty and the new products from Blizzard." At the same time, he said that other products such as "Real Crime: Bibcock (true crime:honkg Kong)" contributed little to income growth. He also pointed out that "Guitar Hero: Rock Warrior (Guitar hero:warriors)" and "DJ Hero 2 (DJ Hero 2)" 2010 Sales in the United States did not reach 1 million, two game sales than the 2009 launch of the "Guitar Hero 5", "　　DJ Hero, band hero is 63% lower, but it has little effect on motion.　　Creutz expects more growth in the 2011 Call of Duty series due to the expansion of the mainframe hardware installation base, but the hardware and software sales ratio will continue to decline, DLC sales will likely increase.　　Cowen's predictions for the next fiscal year are based largely on the assumption that Blizzard's Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2: The heart of the Zerg will be launched in fiscal year 2011, which means Cowen believes that blizzard will surpass the market's 20% in the next 12 months. For 2012-13, look forward to the introduction of the game made by Bungie, Blizzard's new games (rumored to be called "Titan") and Sledgehammer's "Call of Duty" series of derivatives.　　"Call of Duty" series of derivatives may be able to sell 5 million copies worldwide, but it may be postponed to 2013 years to launch, because Sledgehammer is currently assisting Infinity Ward to complete the current project. Creutz also pointed out that "we expect 2011 U.S. XBOX360/PS3 mainframe sales of 10.5 million, slightly lower than 2010 11.1 million, and in the second half of 2011, the host will reduce prices." ”
