In conclusion:

1. Have to take a look into it, cause it now piqued my interest.

2. I speculate than Sony, is getting EA to ship out goods so that they can also recognize software revenue - thus making their financials look better

OR

3. Sony is paying EA to maintain servers/services to facilitate online play of their games

Any other insights would be welcome.

Note that this only happened last 2 quarters.

In the previous quarters, EA actually recognized more non-GAAP revenue and had lower GAAP (reported) revenues.
