Activision announced today it would be laying off employees due to its causal market not meeting expectations. The layoffs will not effect its core markets like the Call of Duty franchise. However, Guitar Hero, Skylanders, and the rest of the company's licensed games are expected to take a hit.
I am not particularly surprised by the announcement of those games not doing well. Guitar Hero has been weak ever since Activision flooded the market with too many of the games a few years back in an effort to make as much money as they could. In terms of the licensed games, I don't think I have played any of those that were from Activision.
