EA made bank off PS3?

Squilliam said:
If you scroll down in that statement you will see the more accurate numbers in the "non-GAAP revenues" section, and the PS3 definitely does not lead the PS3.

Xbox 360: 81
PC: 70
PS3: 68
PS2: 40
Wii: 39
PSP: 26
DS: 21

 

Unfortunately, Squilliam is correct.  It appears the difference between the GAAP and non-GAAP numbers is some deferred net revenue that was recognized in the quarter.  If you add the deferred net revenue with Squilliam's non-GAAP numbers they equal the GAAP numbers quoted in the article.  EA is required to report GAAP numbers with their filings, but they view the non-GAAP numbers to be a better indicator of quarterly performance.
