Blizzard Merger It's been in the news for a little while, but is now official. Blizzard has teamed up with Activision. You can find out more in Blizzard's announcement. We're excited to announce that our planned team-up with Activision, first made public back in December 2007, is now a reality. All regulatory and shareholder approvals have been granted, meaning Blizzard Entertainment -- along with the other companies that made up Vivendi Games -- is now part of a new organization called Activision Blizzard. While this transition doesn't impact our games, websites, personnel, day-to-day operations, or development philosophies, the combined resources of Activision Blizzard will make it easier than ever for us to deliver the best games possible to our players around the world.

Filed under: Microsoft (MSFT) , Sony Corp ADR (SNE) , Electronic Arts (ERTS) , Activision Inc (ATVI) Activision closed on its transaction with Vivendi Games Thursday and officially became Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVID ), according to an article at SmartMoney.com . And I am pretty excited at the prospects for the new business (I am a shareholder). It's going to be a tough competitor against Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS ) and Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO ). (Of course, the latter two might merge at some point.) Activision is riding high with its Guitar Hero franchise, and Vivendi Games brings an incredible asset to the table in the form of online gaming sensation World of Warcraft. I can't say I know much about World of Warcraft the game itself, but I know it has a huge following. What else do I need to know, right? For 2009, management at Activision Blizzard expects pro-forma operating income of over $1 billion and perhaps $1.20 or more in terms of earnings per share. That puts the stock, which rose over 5% on Thursday and closed with a price of $31.77 per share, with a P/E ratio a little over 26. That isn't too bad a valuation considering the growth potential. And when the holiday season comes around, I'm sure people will still be buying the publisher's software for gifts, recession or not. Whether it's the Sony (NYSE: SNE ) PlayStation 3, the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Xbox 360, or the Nintendo (OTC: NTDOY ) Wii, game ... Source: www.totalvideogames.com --- 4 days ago

Since the day the merger was announced, Vivendi and Activision Games have finally completed all the transactions required to become Activision Blizzard . In a press release that was sent out recently, Activision Blizzard is touted as the "world's most profitable pure-play online and console game publisher." Sounds like a pretty big claim, but we can see why with Activision Blizzard shares currently at US 27.50. However, it's not all about the profits. Robert Kotick , President and CEO of Activision Blizzard explained that the merging opens up a lot of possibilities in the gaming industry for the two companies: By combining leaders in mass-market entertainment and subscription-based online games, Activision Blizzard has leading market positions across all categories of the rapidly growing interactive entertainment software industry. As it stands right now, Vivendi (who owns Blizzard) is now a subsidiary of Activision, and currently owns 295.3 shares of Activision stock. Vivendi will also buy 62.6 million shares in the future, and will end up laying claim on 52 percent of Activision stocks. What can we expect from the newly-formed Activision Blizzard then? As we have stated previously, there are the much-awaited titles such as Diablo 3 , World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King , and even Guitar Hero . But will they also try and merge two of their franchises, perhaps? We're still waiting for our Guitar Hero meets World of Warcraft ga ...
