Networks' games business has generated $108.5
million in revenue during 2007, while revenue
was $38.1 million for the first quarter of
2008, up 33 per cent year-over-year.
The
company claims that the reported increased
revenue is due in part to a 33 per cent
rise in revenue for its games division,
which now includes a recent acquisition
of casual games developer Trymedia.
First
quarter net income was down from $40 million
in Q1 2007 to $2.4 million in 2008, but
Q1 2007 also included Microsoft's final
antitrust payment to Real as part of a lengthy
settlement, in the order of $61 million.
The
new company will remain headquartered in
Seattle, and will continue to focus on the
casual games market.
