75% of Console Releases in Q3 Came from Activision and EA

Here’s a little nugget of interesting info: for the period of July through September (Q3), 75% of games released on consoles will have been published by either EA or Activision-Blizzard. EA makes up the narrow majority of that percentage with 21 different releases — most of the which come from their Madden and Tiger Woods franchises — though Activision isn’t far behind with 19 releases. Q4 is also looking to be a strong month for the two companies who will collectively release 40% of all new titles during that time. The report on this information comes from Screen Digest’s Ed Barton, who also notes a rise in Q3 releases for the two companies in addition to a strong Christmas lineup.To put this in more simpler terms: Activision and EA are freakin’ huge. God help us if they ever team up in a bid for world domination (artist’s representation of this scenario pictured right).Via Gamasutra---Related Articles at Gaming Today:Bizarre Creations Acquired by ActivisionNew Releases for June 30 - July 5: Aerosmith Invades Guitar Hero Country and Gears of War is RefreshedActivision Vivendi Merger Approved in EuropeActivision the #1 Publisher So Far This YearGC: Activision Exposes Bond
