Activision Blizzard claims its digital sales far outsell those of social games developer Zynga.

Speaking in a conference call after the publisher’s Q2 financial results, the publisher’s chief financial officer Thomas Tippl said:

“Last year, our digital business alone generated about double the revenues and operating income than Zynga did.”

Activision reports digital revenues of $851m for the six months ending June 30. This is a 42 per cent increase since 2009, during the same period, according to MCV.

Additionally the publisher has said digital revenues accounted for 37 per cent of the $1.1 billion gained in Q2 2011.
