During a September Quarter financial results call this afternoon, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick revealed that the company would be shipping more than 70s SKUs in 2009, all based on "already proven franchises."
Translation: many versions of Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, and Tony Hawk-based titles to appear on any piece of hardware that will play games. Confirmed on the call for 2009 were multiple Guitar Hero titles, a new Bond game, "innovative" Call of Duty titles, and games based on films like Dreamworks' Monsters vs Aliens and Wolverine.
Kotick also notes that the company has plans to release games based on three to four new IPs, all of which he says are well into production. Later in the call, Activision's Mike Griffith mentions Singularity, Prototype, and a Bizarre Creations racing title among these new IPs. It's possible that the fourth of these new IPs may be the rumored DJ Hero supposedly in development by Activision Blizzard's recent acquisition, Freestyle Games.

money is so great if you have it.
I lie awake at night wishing there was some way I could step into a virtual world where I can slay nazi's with my epic metal riffs while speeding around on my board.
Maybe now, I'll rest easy.
