Oh I know that article and I laughed at it more than once. Sorry but it's biased to no end.

Just look at the images at the bottom half of the article.

Example:
http://www.notenoughshaders.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/8.jpg

- EA did not say that it must sell that to break even. (they said it should sell that amount to make sure that the IP will be continued. Which btw. is still the case)
- EA never said that they had to sell them at full price
- The writer of the article just takes $60 to calculate the revenue even though the publisher doesn't get even half of that
- the writer then takes the whole revenue and compares it with the development budget ! of movies

I know that Dead Space 3 is one bad example (besides the game didn't came out by the time of this article). But what's also "wrong" about it? They didn't used unreliable sources either.

Edit: Those images are bad examples but the article in general is good, I don't see anything to be laugh about.
