StarCraft 2 Covered in Wall Street Journal
July 21st, 2010 · Uncategorized
“At a meeting of analysts last month, Mr. Kotick described Starcraft as one of the company’s seven “pillars of opportunity.” He said each pillar has the potential to deliver between $500 million and $1 billion of operating profit over its life span.”
A billion dollars in operating profit sounds healthy. Add the retailer’s profits and ancillary sales and activity and we’re talking a decent size economy centered around this game.
