Activision Blizzard beats Wall Street’s expectations for Q2 2015

Activision Blizzard reported earnings that blew past the expectations of Wall Street analysts during its slow summer quarter.

The earnings for the fiscal second quarter ended June 30 are closely followed, as Activision Blizzard is the largest independent video game publisher in the U.S., and its results are a bellwether for the $91 billion global game industry (based on Newzoo’s estimates).
