| luinil said: EA = Evil Arts. They couldn't pull this off. Nintendo fans would not buy it, by and large. But they could pull off a few xbox and ps fans. There are a few good IPs in EA, but overall they do not do anything new, it is only rehashes (sometimes fun though) of older IPs. |
1. Nintendo fans - people like me - couldn't make the N64 or GCN a big success, nor could they stop the Playstation from dominating for the last decade. I don't think they'll be a big problem for EA.
2. I don't see many Sony or MS developed franchises right now that could rival an exclusive 1-2 punch of Madden and Grand Theft Auto (if EA does buy T2).
3. I think the PS3 has shown support for Sony to be surprisingly soft, and MS still has not been able to break out to a larger audience. And each made serious missteps with their consoles that shows that they may not be as "in touch" with gamer needs as many assume. If EA could come out with a dedicated gaming console, not a "multimedia home entertainment system" for a low price, it's possible they could take a bite out of the market.
