Normally, as per GAAP rules (from my recollection) - as well as what EA does....
Live Revenue (subscription) should be broken down almost equally.
Because the revenue is being recognized each month, as opposed to just 1 time (when it is bought)
This is the reason why EA revenue for PS3 and Wii are weird and have a lot of GAAP/nonGAAP difference.
(SEE MY PREVIOUS EA THREADS)
So I think Squilliam, even though a lot of Live Subscriptions may be bought during the holidays, my gut (and GAAP) tells me that revenue is being recognized throughout the year, not just one time.
