If the average price of prior-generation titles continues to
decline or if Activision or Vivendi Games is unable to sustain launch pricing
on next-generation titles, the affected company’s operating results will
suffer.
Both Activision and Vivendi Games have experienced a decrease in the average price of titles for prior-generation platforms. As the interactive entertainment industry transitions to next-generation video game platforms, the companies expect there to be fewer prior-generation titles able to command premium prices, and that even these titles will be subject to price reductions at an earlier point in their sales cycle than has been seen in prior years. The companies expect the average price of prior-generation titles to continue to decline, which may have a negative effect on each company’s margins and operating results.
Next-generation titles for the Xbox 360, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii have been offered at premium retail prices since the launch of such consoles. Activision and Vivendi Games expect to continue to price next-generation titles at a premium level, but if they are unable to sustain launch pricing on these next-generation titles they may experience a negative effect on their respective margins and operating results.
