Atari Posts Profit After Two Years of Losses

While other companies may be in trouble, Atari, who had at least two years of losses and got delisted from Nasdaq, has announced a profit of $3.5 million for the first quarter of its 2009 fiscal year, which ran from April 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008.

The company notes that games such as Alone in the Dark, The Witcher and several Xbox Live Arcade titles propelled their revenue this quarter. Atari brought in $40.3 million, with $36.7 million of that coming from the aforementioned efforts.

Atari is set to merge with parent company Infogrames, a deal that is set to close shortly.
