While talking about Q1 earning Activision CEO Bobby Kotick grabbed some time to do conversation about Call of Duty and Infinity Ward. Talking about Call of Duty Kotick said that COD is an “entertainment platform” and Activision was looking to expand the brand into new markets. “To continue to provide gamers with the digital content they increasingly demand, we’ve dedicated multiple development teams to focus exclusively on this online opportunity,” stressed Kotick.

“We have the potential to drive the breadth of audience, increase the value-added services we can provide our players and grow our returns to shareholders,” commented Kotick. “As a preview, expect additional exciting content for Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops that will surprise our millions or players.”

“The popular global fantasy of being a soldier is allowing us to enter new geographies, leveraging… [Blizzard's] expertise… creating content for audiences that have to date have only been satisfied by Blizzard games,” Kotick mentioned. “Soon we’ll announce our plans for both China and Korea.”
