"375million is alot, but currently its their only income source, so you have to remember that that money goes back into fund Starcraft II and Hydra (their second unanounced project). As well as funding WoW. They prolly took about 50 mil out of that for each project this year."

sigh, this is profit after all expenses...and not just WOW expenses...
they are drawing 1.5 billion in revenue prior to all blizzard expenses.
they are spending 1.1 billion in revenue on the up keep of wow and all other blizzard gaming related expenses.

so the game might very well, since there is a whole other team of devs working on starcraft and unknown project #2, be making a number that is substancially higher then 375m.....

375m is the bear bottom number. the real profit number is prob closer to 500m
