In Q2 2010, EA made GAAP Total Revenue $142m on Wii and PS3 each. PS3 had 4 new launches, while Wii had 6 new launches.

In the last year, EA made 23 new PS3 titles, and 25 new Wii titles. Over the course of that year, they made $877m on PS3 and $777m on Wii.

Now if you look at the Wii list for the last year - http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?&results=50&name=&console=Wii&keyword=&publisher=105&genre=&order=Release&boxart=Both&showdeleted=&region=All&alphasort= - pretty much all of it is trash with a few exceptions and I'm sure most of it cost very little to make.

The PS3 list looks like so - http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=&keyword=&console=PS3&region=All&developer=&publisher=105&genre=&boxart=Both&results=50&order=Release - which is definitely the superior game list and probably cost a lot more to make.

Now which one made more profit, is really up in the air, but EA may have made some statements recently, I can't remember.

EDIT: all information was found on their investors relation page.

Unfortunately, EA uses deferred earnings/revenue, so there's literally no way to tell if the products actually released in any particular quarter were profitable or not from the financials.  Basically, you'll need to take EA's word on it.
