Another demonstrated poor business decision by EA.

No wonder their company have been posting losses since 2008, yet again another loss last quarter of 381 million US$

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/375791/ea-reveals-381-million-loss-for-q2/

That was from October, for all we know that could be from the lack luster sales of Medal of Honor and Need for Speed. I know those games broke a million, but that was after they posted those numbers. Or maybe those are from the Star Wars MMO and those numbers are before the release of MoH:W and NFS:MW?

No, those are losses incured from July to September known as Q2. That quarter had quite an impressive software release, FIFA and Madden; yet, they posted a loss. It's sad but the business model the industry has been pushing forward have very low profit margins regardless of selling millions of copies.


I was wrong. What did they invest in to make them lose so much money? What games didn't sell as well as expected? That is a lot of money to lose and to have 2 of their biggest sports games release at that time, is a shame.
