Disney dropped a bombshell and announced that they were shuttering Disney Infinity. But that wasn’t the only big news Disney dropped, Disney said they will be closing down its “self-published console games business.” In an earnings report, Disney said they will write down a $147 million charge in relation to the shutdown of the console business, mostly due to Infinity. The company said in the report that there was a slight decrease in revenues and income from its Consumer Products & Interactive Media division partly due to “lower results for Infinity.” Right now, there are two final retail releases coming out, including three new characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass later this month and the Finding Dory Play Set coming out in June.
