Disney game division posts $65 million quarterly loss

So what exactly does all this mean... didn't Splt-Second turn a profit?

well this is sad news because split second is a really nice game and toy story 3 is actually one of the best adaptations of a pixar movie in a long time. And its great that I for once loved the toy story 2 game for the N64 so it was great to see they did not ruin things with the third one. Sure is not amazing, but is fun either way and kids will love it. Split Second also is a really nice new concept to already established racing games that I was actually surprised Disney was supporting it.

@swamptick Most gamers are "too cool" for Disney now. Mainly because they feel to be "adult" they have to play games with brooding anti-heros, toting huge guns, and blowing away random, non-descript aliens/Nazis/terrorists/mutants for no apparent reason. It's a cliche' that doesn't seem to get old with them.

Too bad! but this is nothing..Disney will rise again..if they loose in games they win in movies..

bring on the thumbs down, because I'm one of the few who thinks it's disappointing to hear... that said, Disney are one of the few companies who can and will outlast small losses like this. They're smart. They've released some excellent games of late and I'm looking forward to more from them.

Disney have released had some great games for their characters in the past but they have had a much higher ratio of rubbish, a lot of the games are so poorly made they are an insult to the children they are trying to con into buying them.

I feel the need to say "good, I'm glad." The less Disney games released the better.

I bet they lose more when the DOW drop a point.

lol, does this surprise anyone? they need to stop focusing so much and gimmicks and try and make original games, or if they are desperate enough, contact Square and make the next Kingdom Hearts game (not a spin-off, the third one)

Disney will make a comeback. For all you haters get real. You can't tell me Disney has not given you some joy at some point in your life. It's sad that so many adolescents come to a message board and talk poorly of someone or something in order to make themselves appear as though they have discriminating tastes. Disney has brought a LOT of people a LOT of joy. I for one, hope they make some money.

darn...i love Toy story 3 :P

in fact none care if disney loss $65 million, in fact $65 million is a candy or 1$ for Disney Corp. But loss $65 million for game Is a Epic Fail for them......@asimplerapper Yes Disney Own the Half World include de porn induntrie, and prostit..... XD

Who the hell cares about Disney they should stick to making kiddy movies, and cartoons, instead of infecting, and curruping every part of society; we already have micky mouse, and spider man teaming up, what will be next?

Since when is disney into video games? All this time i thought they only did tv shows, movies, and attracton parks.

and i cant bloody believe disney owns marvel :'(

toy story 3 was amazing, as both a game and a movie. TOY BOX MODE FTW!

I don't really like racing games as a whole. The only one I've ever owned was Burnout.

@seriousplayer_d - Burnout was good too but I got bored with it. Never really completed it. But split second I enjoyed every bit.

@jvsexy Split/second best racing game??? To me it was a boring game with much of the same, all the time. Burnout was even better with more variation.

@xthabeast - your wrong! split second was an awesome game. It was the best racing game I played after NFS:Most Wanted. Go play the real thing before you comment.

Epic Micky will turn that around

65 million? wow

Just make more shovelware for the Wii and profits will go back up! :)

"Lukewarmly" since well were good reviews by the majority considered "lukewarmly"

Split second was actually a really good game, and the difficulty was just about right in my eyes: http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/split-second-first-position/345370 First racing game I've managed to get all gold medals in

When i thin of Disney i think of kids cartoons. Not video games.

I wanted to get Split Second. But then I found out Disney developed it and knew it would suck. Guess what, I was right.

make kingdom hearts 3!!!! it will solve your problems!

@Driscoal Hey! That's the standard now, and don't forget jonas toilet paper, that's the softest =)).

"Disney uber-cheaply-produced-Chinese-merchandise-crap-Hannah-Montana-toilet-paper division posts $2,4 trillion quarterly profits".

they're in red cause the ceo pockets most of it and insures that when it's time to go there'll be a nice package to take too

Disney finally makes games that arent shovelware and they lose money.... That is why people do shovelware in the first place. Low costs-high profit.

Hi Guys i played split second and i can tell you that the game is unique and very interactive with the explosions and the plane falling on ....... just lets give them a chance to show what they got and from what i saw they got alot so give em a break

Disney wouldn't seem like a company that would make good games (not sure why), but they do.

@Toysoldier34: So you are saying that a PS3 populace of around 35 million would by more copies of a Kingdom Hearts game than the 190 million (DS 135, PSP 60 million) units the handhelds have? Needless to say that is doubtful.

Thats good for Disney Games, I really enjoyed Split/Second and Toy Story (for some odd reason that I'd even played it) But I'm sure that Disney's Epic Mickey should really bring them some more money now

A new solid Kingdom Hearts would put them through the roof. I mean a good KH3 for PS3. Not the two knock offs for PSP and DS. I hate when they take franchises and put them on other systems only. Like in God of War 3 I didn't get some of it because it referenced a lot to Chains of Olympus. Keep games where they start, they can expand but don't cut them off.

Epic Mickey should really help Disney get some more boosts in sales.

@guyguyguy1234 not from disney. characters licensed through them. not published by disney games. published through square enix

Kingdom Hearts 3 would help...

I didn't know Disney's game division was that profitable anyway. Remember that whenever Disney makes a movie a game comes out shortly after... Split Second was pretty cool though.

Disney makes games?!?

well, if they team up with other companies again, i think they can make a pretty good income from games. overall, still not bad that they made money even with those loses. hope they can keep it going and also improve more on the gaming area.

If I could put up a emotioncon to represent my sadness, I would put it up here.

Disney, if you really wanna do something with the gaming industry, hook up with Square again and help them make KH3. Just don't touch anything like you did the other times and you'll be golden.

I think gamespot should stop making these economic articles because half the people posting on them don't even know what they're talking about..

Tough quarter,but Propaganda Games are busy little bees at the moment. Should be some honey shortly.

I think the racing dept.of gaming has lost a lot of interest.If its not Forza or GT, its hard to break into that market. Toy Story 3 does look interesting though, and I'll probably get it once it becomes 29.99.
