@WereKitten: So why is the revenue figure showing healthy growth? There's no problem on the revenue side, expenses are the real problem.

 

Can't really see that in the figures...

2004-2007 the revenue stagnated. Oscillations of 3% both ways.

Only in 2008 the revenue started going up again, by 18%. Now it's down again by 7%, but we don't know where it would have been without the economic downturn.

Frankly, without detailed data on both revenue and costs you can't make an analysis of the causes. EA is too big... it has even a revenue by the mobile market, that I bet has been growing nicely in the last 3-4 years. Are such detailed data available?

 

2009 is incomplete, since the fiscal year ends at the end of the month and data for that quarter only comes later.

What the figures show is that revenues are increasing and expenses are increasing much faster. That's the whole point of my argument.

As for detailed data it may be possible to get it from the reports but I haven't done so.
