Vivendi Games revenues totaled 1.5 billion USD in 2007. This large chunck of change was due to World of Warcraft's 10 million players. Blizzard brought in 1.2 billion USD in revenue. That's an increase of 58% from 2006, with profits expected to continue to climb when Liche King is released this year.
Vivendi Games had a less then steller year when you take away Vivendi's other business's. Sierra Entertainment, Sierra Online and Vivendi mobile made a combined revenue of 301 million uSD, a 29% decline from the previous year.
This whole story highlights ActivisionBlizzard (Vivendi is part of Activision), as Blizzard and Activision outshine Vivendi and hence the lack of the Vivendi name in the merger of the two companies of which it is part of.
