WoW helps raise Vivendi Games' 2006 revenues

Vivendi Games has announced a 25% rise in its 2006 yearly revenues to EUR 804 million.

Much of the 25% can be attributed to World of Warcraft, but new IP Scarface: The World in Yours had strong sales, along with titles such as F.E.A.R. on Xbox 360, The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, and movie licenses Ice Age 2 and Eragon

In its fourth quarter, ending December 31, Vivendi Games reports a 33.1% rise in revenues over the same period in 2005. World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade was of course only released in January, so we'll have to wait until Vivendi's quarter one financials before its impact on revenues is revealed.
