In my opinion EA problem is that they had build their empire in last 7 years upon sequel only.
I think that EA has lost its creative force relying on heavy serialization. They failed to soundly read the new casual market , missing DS train and overlooking the Wii at launch. In a disruption age, EA need creative studios that build new treadmark.
They have the cash to do this acquisitions and they try to do them to mantain their leadership in the software market.
