But adjusted earnings equaled $0.23 cents a share on adjusted revenue of $1.17 billion. Wall Street expected adjusted profit of $0.13 cents a share, with adjusted revenue of $1.01 billion.
For the fourth quarter, the company forecast adjusted earnings of $0.86 cents a share on adjusted revenue of $2.2 billion, versus Wall Street's expectation of $0.94 cents a share on revenue of $2.34 billion.
For 2014, Activision forecast adjusted earnings of $1.35 cents a share on revenue of $4.33 billion. Analysts expect $1.33 a share on $4.75 billion.
