Activision CEO to keynote CES 2009

Activision president and CEO Mike Griffith will take a break from having money fights in the office lounge to deliver one third of the keynote address at the upcoming International Consumer Electronics Show. Being held January 8-11 in Las Vegas, Griffith's speech will take place on Friday at 11am following Thursday's companion speeches by Disney media exec Anne Sweeney and AMD president Dirk Meyer.

Organizers are being tight-lipped on what exactly Griffith and the others will be talking about during the show, though given the previous event's memorable farewell speech by Bill Gates, whatever they come up with has a tough act to follow.
