		<description><![CDATA[The video game industry continued its dismal sales performance, reporting disappointing numbers in the month of August. According to market research firm, The NPD Group, U.S. video game retail sales declined for the fourth consecutive month to $669.9 billion in August 2011, down 23.0% year over year. Although NPD’s data does not include sales from Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Steam or other online channels, revenue from online social games, mobile games and subscription services such as World of Warcraft, used games and rentals, its relevance lies in the fact that retail sales continue to represent 75.0% of the total video game industry.

Earlier, sales during May and July declined 14% and 10%, respectively. The major factors that resulted in the decline were weak schedule of new title releases and seasonally lower sales.

		<description><![CDATA[German authorities have identified potential security flaws in Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod that are feared to be vulnerable to cyber attacks. According to reports from the Associated Press, German security agencies cautioned that the security hole may be exploited by hackers to steal confidential data from the devices. Germany&#8217;s Federal Office for Information Security is of the opinion that hackers can infect Apple devices by sending malicious emails in the form of Portable Document Formats (PDF). Thereafter, once the unaware users are deceived to open the PDFs, the hackers will get accessibility to the administrative rights of the devices. In such a case, hackers have the access to steal or use confidential information such as passwords, online-banking data, calendars, e-mails and intercept telephone conversations ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The gaming industry heaved a sigh of relief after the U.S Supreme Court turned down a California law that prevented minors (below 18 years of age) from buying violent videogames, referring to the ban as an unconstitutional infringement on speech rights. Publishers were relieved as this favorable verdict bolsters their position at a time when the gaming industry is already reeling under sales pressure, which is evident from the monthly industry sales reviews. According to the NPD data, US retail sales in May shrank 14% year over to $743.1 million, a new low since October 2006. The decline was attributable to a lower number of new game releases coupled with weaker sales of portable games. Major video game publishers, such as Take Two Interactive Software Inc.

(GOOG), video game companies Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Sega Sammy Holdings Inc. Moreover, government agencies like the IMF and CIA were also targeted.

(ERTS) this time, as the company’s website reported that hackers have stolen user information. The video game maker reported the breach in its BioWare division as “highly sophisticated and unlawful.” Hackers breached the servers related to “Neverwinter Nights,” produced by BioWare Edmonton, and supposedly stole user names, encrypted passwords, email addresses, mailing addresses, names, phone numbers and birth dates.

		<description><![CDATA[Just a month after posting robust sales in April 2011, the video games industry fell off the cliff to a new low since October 2006, in May. According to market research company, The NPD Group, US retail sales of the video game industry shrank 14% in May 2011 from the comparable previous year to $743.1 million. A lower number of new game releases coupled with weaker sales of portable games dragged the overall performance of the industry lower.  According to NPD, only 42 new stock keeping units (SKU) or new games were introduced in May as compared to 58 in May 2010 and 72 in May 2009. Software sales were down 19% year on year to $375.8 million against analysts’ expectations of a flattish performance. Amid this dismal picture, some ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Video game developer and publisher, Electronic Arts (ERTS) reported fourth quarter 2011 results, which inched past the Zacks Consensus. The better-than-expected results were driven by strong top-line growth in the quarter. Operating Performance Electronic Arts reported non-GAAP earnings (excluding one-time items of 31 cents per share but including stock-based compensation) of 14 cents per share,  significantly up from a loss of 6 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. However, this failed to meet management guidance range of 15 cents to 25 cents per share. The year-over-year growth was attributable to significant upside in revenue and margins in the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) reported third quarter 2011 results, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents. However, shares were up $1.58 (10.12%) in after-hours trading due to a strong growth outlook and the announcement of a share repurchase program. Operating Performance Electronic Arts reported non-GAAP earnings (excluding one-time items of $1.42 per share) of 45 cents, significantly up from 20 cents in the prior-year quarter and a loss of 3 cents in the previous quarter. However, this failed to meet management guidance of 50 cents to 60 cents. The year-over-year growth was driven by strong operating income primarily attributable to lower operating expense in the quarter. Net income was $150.0 million compared with $66.0 million in the year-ago quarter and a net loss of $10.0 million in the ]]></description>

Although the Dow recorded new highs, other benchmarks including S&#38;P 500 and the tech-laden Nasdaq fell slightly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the day up 1.81 points at 12,041.97, a 30-month fresh high. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.3% to close at 1,304.03 as 9 out of 10 stocks of the index fell.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Wednesday, November 17, 2010 Do you hear that? That’s the sound of warfare! Or maybe it’s the “ching ching” of Call of Duty: Black Ops sales, the new video game from Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI). The seventh installment of the series, it sold 5.6 million units in its first day. And between the UK and North America, it made a record $360 million in that time span. That tops the previous record of $310 million from 4.7 million units set by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. And it solidifies the video games’ moneymaking ability. In the entertainment business, blockbuster video games make more than Hollywood films. The 3D film Avatar took in a mere $242 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

		<description><![CDATA[Electronic Arts (ERTS) reported second quarter 2011 results and reaffirmed its fiscal 2011 guidance. Loss per share narrowed down to 2 cents as compared with a guidance of 10 cents to 15 cents, primarily driven by strict cost control and higher gross margins. Loss per share, which includes stock-based compensation but excludes one time items, was well above the estimated loss of 26 cents projected by Zacks. Operating Performance Gross margin increased to 59.0% in the quarter as compared with 48.0% in the prior-year quarter, driven by a greater percentage of higher-margin digital revenues and Electronic Arts’ owned catalog titles. Operating margin Incorporatedluding stock based compensation, was 4.0% in the quarter as compared with 2.0% in the prior-year quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks had a mixed finish on Monday as investors avoided taking chances ahead of this week’s Federal Reserve meeting and the mid-term elections. A surprise jump in October manufacturing activities in China and the U.S. gave stocks some initial boost but the rally faded as investors, already concerned about the economic recovery, wondered if the Federal Reserve would launch the treasury buying program sooner than expected. The Dow Jones industrial average rose modestly after spending much of the session in negative territory. The 30-share average rose 6 points, or 0.06%, to 11124.6. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index edged up more than one point, or 0.09%, to 1184.38. The Nasdaq Composite index fell 2.57 points, or 0.1%, to 2504.84.

		<description><![CDATA[Video game manufacturer and publisher, Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) shares fell 5.95% ($1.05) and closed at $16.61. The shares downfall was based on negative reviews for its flagship title Medal of Honor multiplayer game launched on October 12 in North America. Investors appeared to be disappointed by the weaker-than-expected launch of this most-awaited game, leading to a drop in share price. In anticipation of the Medal of Honor launch, which was hyped for quite sometime, the company&#8217;s stock price had risen approximately 20% in the last three months. The first person shooter Medal of Honor game was launched simultaneously on Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Xbox 360 videogame platform and Sony Corp.’s (SNE) PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PC. Medal of Honor will release on October 15, 2010, in Europe. The eleven-year old ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Global provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services for enterprises, content companies, systems integrators, and network service providers Equinix Inc. (EQIX), is in the process of expanding its cloud computing service network in association with Voxel, a leading provider of hybrid Internet infrastructure. Voxel has been an Equinix customer for the past 10 years. Presumably, the advantages of using Equinix’s International Business Exchange data centers have encouraged the company to offer its cloud services through them. The long association with Equinix has helped Voxel to grow its market in Washington D.C., New York, Silicon Valley, Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Singapore. Equinix has seen continued momentum with its significant clientele and the resultant network effect within its IBX centers. The Equinix Exchange facilitates interconnection and peering via an Ethernet ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Video games achieved better results in July 2010 after a lackluster June month. Improving hardware sales were partially offset by sluggish software sales in the month. According to the research firm NPD, U.S. retail sales of hardware, software and accessories decreased 0.5% year over year to $846.5 million in July. However, this excludes Activision Blizzard’s (ATVI) most recent release, StarCraft II, for personal computers (PC). NPD does not include sales from PC games in its monthly game sales data. For the month of June, retail sales of hardware, software and accessories in the U.S. decreased 6.0% year over year to $1.1 billion. According to Activision, within 48 hours of its release, StarCraft II sold more than 1.5 million. Including the game, industry sales almost increased 4.0%, according to NPD.

		<description><![CDATA[A leading publisher of online, personal computers, console, handheld and mobile games, Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) reported second-quarter earnings of 5 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents but was down a penny per share year over year. The decline can primarily be credited to declining revenue growth and contraction in operating margins. Fewer releases and continued weakness at retail led to the quarter’s weak results. Earnings include stock-based compensation expenses but exclude one-time items. Revenues Revenues on a non-GAAP basis (excluding net effect from deferral) decreased 14.7% year over year to $683.0 million in the second quarter. Lower revenues were attributable to the 29.0% plunge in sales of consoles from the year-earlier quarter. Sales of handheld games declined 40.0% year over year and distribution ]]></description>
