This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-K filed Jun 14, 2007. Nintendo GameCube Net Revenues (in thousands)
Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube decreased 16% from $96.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 to $81.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. Despite an increase in the number of titles released for the GameCube from seven major titles for the year ended March 31, 2005 to nine major titles for the year ended March 31, 2006, the releases in fiscal 2006, which included GUN, Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, THAW, and True Crime: New York City, were less geared toward the demographics of the GameCube audience as compared to our fiscal 2005 title releases, which included Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2. Additionally, Madagascar, which was our top selling title on the GameCube in fiscal 2006, was released at a lower initial retail pricing of $39.99 as compared to Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2, which were both released at an initial retail price of $49.99. Madagascar was our top selling title on the GameCube for fiscal 2006 and although it performed strongly, it compares to fiscal 2005 where our top two selling titles on the GameCube were Spider-Man 2 and Shrek 2, each of which outperformed Madagascar.
This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-Q filed Jun 7, 2007. Nintendo GameCube Net Revenues (in thousands)
Net revenues from sales of titles for the GameCube increased 27% or $2.8 million from $10.1 million and 5% of publishing net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $12.9 million and 10% of publishing net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Though the number of GameCube titles released in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 remained consistent with the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the two titles released in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Over the Hedge and X-Men: The Official Game, outperformed the two titles released for the GameCube in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Madagascar and Fantastic Four. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we experienced stronger sales from our catalog titles, including Madagascar, Call of Duty 2, and X-Men Legends 2: Rise of the Apocalypse, compared to sales of catalog titles for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. For the remainder of fiscal 2007, we expect net revenues for the GameCube to decrease over fiscal 2006 due to our more focused fiscal 2007 title slate and the next-generation platforms gaining market share over current-generation platforms such as the GameCube. It is anticipated that Nintendo will release their next-generation console, the Wii, in calendar 2006. 65

Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube decreased 79% from $17.9 million and 11% of publishing net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $3.8 million and 3% of publishing net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues is due primarily to the decrease in new releases on the GameCube combined with a gradual slowdown in sales on the GameCube platform as customers anticipate the release of the next-generation console from Nintendo, the Wii. In the second quarter of fiscal 2006 we released Ultimate Spider-Man and X-Men Legends II on the GameCube and experienced strong catalog sales from Madagascar and Fantastic Four. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007 the only new release was our European affiliate title, LucasArts’ Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. In addition, net revenue for the quarter was affected by pricing declines on catalog titles due to the effects of the console transition. Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube decreased 40% from $28.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005 to $16.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was a result of the decrease experienced in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, as discussed above, partially offset by the strength of our first quarter fiscal 2007 releases of Over the Hedge and X-Men: The Official Game, which outperformed the two titles released for the GameCube in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Madagascar and Fantastic Four. 56 This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-K filed May 25, 2007. Nintendo GameCube Net Revenues (in thousands)
Net revenues from sales of titles for the Nintendo GameCube increased 83% from $52.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 to $96.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the number of GameCube new title releases from five in fiscal 2004 to eight in fiscal 2005. Also driving the increase in revenues was that the title slate in fiscal 2005 performed strongly as it was more targeted toward the demographic of the GameCube audience than the fiscal 2004 GameCube title slate. Our fiscal 2005 title slate was driven by new title releases of Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, Shark Tale, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, THUG 2, and Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Fiscal 2004 GameCube revenues were driven mainly by releases of Tony Hawk’s Underground and True Crime: Streets of L.A. 61 This excerpt taken from the ATVI 10-K filed Jun 9, 2006.
