News   Activision Wins April 2002
- Posted By Michael Loewer, 06.03.2002

It's highly belated news, but apparently this sort of thing takes a good deal of time to tally up.

Here's the Press Release:

Activision, Inc. ranked as the #1 console software publisher for the month of April, according to NPD Funworld's April 2002 Video Games Software Summary. The company increased its market share in the U.S. console business to 15.3%, for the month, as compared to 6.1% for the same period last year. The company's dollar sales increased 179% over last year's comparable period. During the month, Activision was the only publisher to have a top-five title on each of the next-generation console platforms.

Ron Doornick, President, Activision Inc.:


"Activision's strong franchises continue to fuel the company's record performance. We are pleased with the success of our key brands across all of the console systems and continue to benefit from our strategy of leveraging franchise titles across multiple platforms."


Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Activision, Inc. is a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure products. Founded in 1979, Activision posted revenues of $786 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002.
