Jean-Bernard Levy, CEO of Vivendi, will add the role of Activision Blizzard chairman to his resume. Levy will pick up the duties of outgoing 67-year-old Rene Penisson. Vivendi is the majority owner in the empire known as Activision Blizzard. Blizzavision is expected to announce strong sales in the bajillions - despite the economy's influence - during its financial report this Thursday.
Activision Blizzard director, president and CEO Bobby Kotick had no reaction to the news, as he is currently on a deep exploration inside the company's money bin. He'll comment after returning and depressurizing in a couple weeks.

Doesn't make much sense to me. Blizzard have been an intensely popular company for a long time and I can't remember the last game they made which sold badly.
Aside from that, Nintendo was arguably at their most successful during the NES/SNES era, and that was when they made some of the most well received games in their entire catalog.

It's from WarCraft III. Specifically the Frozen Throne expansion.
