| sinha said: It's not lazyness and it's not an anti-Sony conspiracy: it's basic economics and business sense.
-EA may be huge but like any company it has limited resources. -Most of these sports games sell mostly in the US. -The 360 has a huge hardware lead over the PS3 in the US. -360 owners buy more games per console than PS3 owners. -These games all sell way better on the 360 than the PS3. It would make no sense for EA to purposely make the PS3 versions bad, that would just hurt their profits. But it does make sense for them to prioritize the 360 version over the PS3 version based on the facts stated above.
"A representative with the publisher told the writer that as a release date nears, the company sometimes readjusts the manpower on the projects to complete the Xbox 360 version first. With a larger installed base for Microsoft's console, the rep said it makes financial sense to get that version of a game out first and maximize potential sales. The representative also noted that in the last generation, it made more sense for the publisher to focus on PlayStation 2 versions of games over those on the Xbox because of the platform's massive installed user base. |
