Blizzard Will Dominate PC Market

Mike Morhaime, Blizzard Entertainment's president, is convinced their games will be in high demand in the next few years. StarCraft and Diablo II are still played by tens of thousands of players, 11 and eight years respectively since their releases. Both games were still popular before StarCraft II and Diablo III were announced, but were boosted by the announcements. Both titles have been in and out of the top-20 NPD sales list, and sometimes even in the top-ten, over the last two years.

give it 10 years and blizzard will be a fraction of what its worth now. It's major money earner is wow subscriptions which it earns an insane amount of money on and not many people will be playing that in 10 years. Granted they will have more MMOs out them but i doubt any will be as sucessful because they'll be plenty of others trying to be the "next wow" in the years to come.

moondragon6252d ago

yeah awsome, blizzard owns. They have the most quality titles out there so they can be called blizzard empire since no one can take them down.

kerriganss6252d ago

i love that guy... so much :P

thetamer6252d ago

It's a Blizzard title, what do you expect?

Leord6252d ago

It's probably 4 different games to be honest...

Malfurion6252d ago

One name: World of Warcraft.

Maticus6252d ago

Blizzard kinda already dominates the PC market doesn't it..? :P

SCFreelancer6252d ago

Its essentially bad though because most other games I buy tend to disappointing :(

Malfurion6252d ago

So Blizzard should make their games a bit more crappy to allow other developers to catch up? o.O

shawnsl656252d ago

Blizzard indeed already dominates.

Perjoss6252d ago

watching the warcraft retrospective on gametrailers.com made me understand how bliz went from a normal dev to being a dev that only releases quality titles and does not rush them out the door, its done when its done etc. Its a must watch for a bliz fan, let me find the link...

its 3 parts, they are quite long, and for some reason they list part 3 at the top, so if you wanna watch them in order start from the bottom:

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing51d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9251d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit51d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing51d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9251d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
