The Wii was released in November 2006 and quickly gained strong consumer acceptance due to its innovative technology and mass market appeal. With a full year of expanding the installed base of the Wii and our increased number of available titles on the Wii, for the three months ended December 31, 2007, net revenues from the sales of titles for the Wii increased to $159.0 million from $44.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Net revenues from the sales of titles for the Wii increased from $44.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 to $204.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. As a

percentage of publishing net revenues, net revenues from the sales of titles for the Wii increased from 7% to 13% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and from 5% to 10% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. We released the first version of Guitar Hero for the Wii, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in the third quarter fiscal 2008 which was the main contributor to net revenues and the primary reason for the increase in net revenues for the three and the nine months ended December 31, 2007. We have released fourteen other Wii titles during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 as compared to five Wii titles released during the first nine months fiscal 2007. Some of the titles we released during the third quarter fiscal 2008 were Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Bee Movie Game, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground, Dancing with Stars, Barbie Island Princess, Cabela’s: Big Game Hunter 2008 and, in Europe our affiliate LucasArt’s titles, Thrillville: Off the Rails, and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. This compares to the five titles concurrently released with the release of the Wii in November 2006, Call of Duty 3, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions, Rapala Tournament Fishing, and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam.

 

We expect net revenues from sales of titles for the Wii to continue to increase with the growth of the hardware installed base.
