Games and Gadgets
Like rivals such as Electronic Arts (ERTS), Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) and Midway Games
(MWY), Activision officials reported somewhat weak demand for the company's games by retailers. But company CEO Bobby Kottick said the situation is similar to what the industry has been seeing for years, as retailers look to shrink the amount of inventory they have on hand. The company plans on releasing five franchise titles in the holiday quarter, including new iterations of its Tony Hawk, Shrek and Call of Duty games. Management is "actively monitoring" demand and plan to shift shipments depending on how the holiday season plays out, Griffith said. "On the execution side, we feel very good about where we are," he said. Shares of Activision closed regular trading up 62 cents, or 4%, to $16.81.TheStreet Premium Services
