They most likely will release fewer games anyway.
Just seeing how crowded holydays usually are and how crowded Q1 2010 is going to be is proof enough of this...
part of EA problem is that they actually release too many games....( fire everyone working on Wii software and the company would be in much better shape :p).
If EA focused on Madden/FIFA/Battlefield/Mirror Edge/Dead Space/ one Bioware RPG/year /Sims and a few others select projects they would be in much better shape...
