"On July 9, 2008, the business combination between Activision, Inc. and Vivendi Games, Inc. was consummated. As a result of the consummation of the business combination, Activision, Inc. was renamed Activision Blizzard, Inc". Everybody got that straight again?

Right, so Activision Blizzard has delivered its third quarter results and saw that they were good.

Before we get to those, however, how did each platform stack up for the company? Basically, "MMORPGs" did the financial business, so that's World of Warcraft. Next up in terms of pure percentage of net revenue is the Xbox 360, this is followed by - neck and neck - the PS3 and the Wii.

On the financials, basically, here are the net figures:
