C'mon, EA is not that dumb.

Actually accepting huge money bags from Microsoft makes a lot of sense for EA. 

Neither the PS4/720 will have huge userbases this fall (more precisely 0 to start with), so it's not such a big deal to them for at least the first months if all EA fans are channelled into one platform (the 720) instead of the two.

It's not like the PS4 is the PS3 where it has 70 million users that EA would be ignoring, this is ignoring maybe a userbase of 4-5 million for the first few months ... not even ignoring really, if it's about staggered exclusives.

Not a big deal ? And what if Sony retaliates by not allowing EA to release those games (2014 sports franchises) on their current gen platform ? Don't you think EA would loose some money there ?
