Activision posts 3Q profit, backs 2009 outlook

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:52:00 GMT

Activision said Thursday its net income grew to $15 million, or a penny per share, in the latest quarter.
In the same period of 2008 it lost $108 million, but the results are not completely comparable because Activision Blizzard was formed about 10 days into the year-ago quarter.
