Catalog sales of Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero products and Kung Fu Panda pushed Activision's stand-alone net revenues to $654.2 million, an increase of 32 percent year-on-year.
Stand-alone net income for the quarter reached $59 million, up from $27.8 million.
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick said the quarter was the "highest ever for a non-holiday quarter."
He added, "Activision Blizzard's combined outlook for calendar year 2008 is set to exceed the comparable calendar year 2009 non-GAAP financial targets that we provided on December 2, 2007, by approximately $600 million in non-GAAP net revenues and $100 million in non-GAAP operating income."
For the September quarter, Activision Blizzard, which officially mergered on July 9, expects net revenues of $636 million a loss per diluted share of $0.26. The sales forecast doesn't include $50 million that Activision generated between July 1 through July 8.
For the December quarter, the firm expects sales $1.85 billion and earnings per diluted share of $0.11.
Blizzard head Mike Morhaime added in an earnings release, "Since June 2007, World of Warcraft has grown its subscriber base by over 1.8 million, to 10.9 million players."
