And just random good games they will be creating like LEFT 4 DEAD DEAD SPACE but what you got to ask yourself is How many of these are just published by them and how many of the ip are owned by them? Also will they still be providing this kind of support for just one console, yes they could more or less get a big chunk of the console market but without such a big userbase will they still be turning the kind of profits that they get now, i mean Look at sega they were a very good software company and still are but the consoles they made never produced a big enough user base for the games to shine. |
EA will lose these lisences, because one of the demands from the lisence-holders is that the game will be released on all platforms (that's why even the cube received its yearly FIFA)
