Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 outperforms Xbox 360 for EA again

There is nothing really odd about the earnings report, what's clear is the sites that are running with this story have an agenda...jsut like FOX news does, and without fully understanding the data, they report nonsense...geez...some people are looking like absolute fools at this point!

The only thing that could make sense is that EA get less money back from a game sold on xbox 360 than on PS3. But I thought it was the other way around.

Strange indeed.



 

If this great mystery doesn't get an explanation, then I'm leaving the sales analyzing business.

EA getting higher revenue from selling PS3 games than X360 games just doesn't make any sense.



LOL, VGC tracks pirated copies confirmed XD (joking)

net revenue is simply the total amount of money brought in by the console

the 'real numbers' are the profit, ie the net revenue minus the amount spent to bring in that revenue. That is why the PS3 may win in net revenue, but due to high production costs it may still lose in profits. Same applies to the PSP/DS

The only thing released this quarter are multiplat games for which development occured simultaneously, the cost cannot be divided into PS3 and 360 as a large amount of asset is shared across platforms.

The only difference would be the manufactoring cost which we know are more expensive on the PS3 and should net less overall profit, but since manufactoring is a quantity that can be reflected on sale and thus is incremental in both revenue and profit, the net revenue still matters.

Scat has explained the apparent reason for the PS3's superior revenue but I'm too dumb to find the number he stated on the link, hoping he can explain it in 'stupid man' speech as I'm interested in finding the reason for the unlikely disparity.

denial is the first step towards acceptance ;)



 

 

 

The revenue increase for PS3 was probably from the Madden 2010 Tournament exclusivity money hat Sony paid EA....

This will most likely be debunked or better explained at a later time. I will just wait until that happens......if ever.

But then it just makes you wonder how the hell the PS3 managed to bring more money in then 360
