Videogame publisher Activision Blizzard beat Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter adjusted sales on Monday, thanks to the success of the latest game in its 'Call of Duty' franchise.
"Modern Warfare II" delivered the highest opening-quarter sell-through in the franchise's history and crossed the $1 billion mark within 10 days of its late-October launch, the company said.
Activision expects its full-year adjusted sales to grow at least in high-single digits, bolstered by the launch of games including "Diablo IV."
