Well I had a quick look on through Activision Blizzard's investor site.
In particular their SEC filings that AFAIK constitute a federal document for which they are dire and severe consequences for lying on.
I have several issues with the linked article from Super Data Research
1) It uses an odd choices of months to compare. April 2013 and November 2012
Activision Blizzard only release GAAP Net Revenues by Segment/Platform Mix for three month periods , not separated out into one month periods.
2) Why those two months ? The article was released in September 2013 where you have a selection of these quarterlies to use data from : End of June 2013 , End of March 2013 , End of December 2012 , End of September 2012
3) Given that Activision Blizzard released revenue amounts include things like Call of Duty elite memberships , Skylander Toys and other Activision related sales how have they separated the Activision part out ?
4) Looking at the quarterly reports & annual reports I have no idea where they're getting their figures from. According to :
http://investor.activision.com/secfi...104659-13-8490
Their online subscriptions revenue for the 3 months ending December 31 , 2012 was $285 Million , not the $612 million per that quarter as they would have you believe (IE If they've estimated April by taking the June 2013 amount and dividing by 3 it follows to reason that if they made $204 million in Nov 2012 , times that by 3 for the quarterly figure amount)
AB's annual report :

Lists their online subscriptions as $986 million for the
entire year.
