Vivendi CEO becomes Activision Blizzard chairman
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.

WoW corrupted blizzard just like the Wii corrupted Nintendo... when you start making big bucks you just lose touch.. 20 dollars says another WoW expansion comes out before Starcraft 2 = /

They mentioned that they would release a new expansion every 18-24 months, so... probably not, since SC2 is expected to come out this Christmas.

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.
