"They are paying $860 million in consideration, as we reported earlier, and they expect the deal to close by early 2008.

EA expects to break even on the deal by 2009 and start raking it in by 2010."

Do you think that EA can break even on US$ 860 million in about 2 years ?

The only way EA will make that kind of loot is if they ...

1. Make a video game that prints money

2. Buy Nintendo and church out tons of DS Litez that print money

3. Release NFS Infinity and just release DLCs for the life of the console 

IF EA did buy Nintendo, you know that they'd completely ruin it by releasing new hardware every year with new rosters pre loaded for their sports games.  Oh and the games would not be included, you'd still have to buy them to play the game, it's just that the new DS would have the rosters on them. :)
