rofl. Never. PS3 hasn't beaten it once there in yearly sales, and barely tops 1 mill there a year.
EA have been arse licking Sony a lot lately, I don't know why. Maybe it's because Microsoft is firmly in bed with Activision .. but then it doesn't sound like Activision love Microsoft that much, just their money!

EA is making tonne of money because of the good PS3 softwares sales
good multiplateform software sales du to the lack of hacking and the less "upgrade/remplacement hardware purchase" because of the RRoD
FIFA is a good example ....
|
EA has also been making tons of money because of the good xbox360 software sales for years now, so what's your point ??
The rest is bullshit (the blahblah blah when it comes to the 360's userbase) when the attach ratio of the 360 is by far the highest this generation, a fact that destroys all the amateurish propaganda.

well, I m sure they are making tonne of money on the 360. They are making more money on 360, let's be clearer.
But they also know those 360 people are very Gears or Halo or CoD biased (not EA games). While PS3 is lacking a "king exclusive" meaning people will tend to buy more multiplateform games (see FIFA).
At the end, multiplateform sales tend to favor PS3 compared to the "official" console user base ratio. That is why EA is loving the PS3.
And, at this question : WHY PS3 software sales on multiplateform games do not follow the userbase ratio PS3/360 ?
- there is no piracy on PS3, there are plenty on 360
- I m GUESSING the 360 userbase is "virtually" slightly inflated because of people buying more than one whatever it is because the old one was broken or because the 360 is cheaper so u can buy several for your children. I doubt many people have 2 PS3s and I doubt people bought many PS3s because their first died by RRoD ...
Also, about the attach rate you are mentionning, since this rate include the 360 exclusive or no EA games (that EA, obviously, dont give a fucking shit) AND since this attach rate is biased because it is calculated WITHOUT taking in count the fact that the 360 was released 1 year before the PS3 (from what I know), I tend to consider it is not an interesting parameter IMHO
|
The attach rate of the 360 IS NOT DROPPING despite the 360 selling hundreds of thousand of consoles which would be the normal thing to happen if the same people were rebuying the console. How difficult is it to understand this simple logical fact ??
As for the ratio between the 360 and the ps3, the ratio is never linear with the consoles userbases . The xbox 360 has a more "mature" userbase in the west since it has sold far more there so it is quite normal that the ratio will be in ps3' favour and that's mopre on a game by game basis anyway. Hell the ratio in many ps2/xbox multiplatform games was much more in favour of the xbox (percentage wise) despite the HUGE difference between the userbases of the 2 consoles.

I'm not 100% sure but i think the 360 userbase has more teens and kids than the PS3 userbase, that i would say has more adults. Why?? because the 360 is cheaper, so it seems more likely that parents will get that for their kids, as they dont know or care about tech stuff. if you look at stuff like Alan Wake and Heavy Rain the sales of HR have been really good for a mature based game compared to AW which is not considered a success.
the other thing is if you look at stuff like Kung Fu Panda and Lego Batman, they've sold more than Mass Effect 1 & 2 on the 360, suggesting a less mature userbase than on the PS3. although, by no means am i trying to start a flame war, just pointing out a possible theory...

Gears of War?
|
Like i said its a theory, but i dont think its as clear cut as having a mature userbase on either console, the numbers dont tell use everything. GoW suggests that the mature user base is divided about evenly across both.
|
Um a ton of kids play gears of war so yeah..., ps3 seems to have a more mature audience though (not necessarily older) Since games like heavy rain and demon souls thrive dispite minimal advertising, compared to alan wake that go a decent amount of advertising and still hasn't even cracked a million
