ATVI has outperformed the S&P 500 since November 2007. They have a solid balance sheet with a strong cash position and low debt. They have dramtically increased the R&D spending, and they have a couple of big releases about to hit the shelves (i.e. Starcraft 2). This will generate additional subscription income just like Warcraft does...oh and its near its 52 week low.
Rpgizzle,
neither of the titles being released by Blizzard will require monthly subscription fees like Warcraft does, however the gaming community (not only in U.S) has been awaiting these releases for a long time -- the company's growth over the next 2 years will be anything but stagnant.
but if you check out their jobs section they have openings for a as yet unannounced and unnamed world of warcraft type game. Also WoW takes in per month what it cost to develop the entire game. I just don't know how strong the activision side is...
