| BengaBenga said: Well since FIFA only sells the rights if the game appears on all consoles I think no-one would lose market share. For Madden it's the same I heard. I predict that the biggest fanboys of either console will join forces against the evil EA. You can't sell a console on GTA alone, with maybe Need for Speed. The rest of EA's IP is very casual and sells very well, but you need the hardcore early adaptors to get the console off the ground. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have these kinds of fans that will buy their console early. |
Benga you always say in these EA console topics that Madden and FIFA can't be single platform. Do you have a link to back that up or is it word of mouth? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I googled it and found nothing regarding the subject.
As far as an EA console, it would fail. Another manufacturer would have to take the reins as console maker with EA being head developer, i.e. Apple. Apple is a trusted name brand with reliable hardware that could sell to the American and European audience. Japan would probably be out of the question but I would see a definite shift in market share in NA and EU with Apple stripping both Sony and Microsoft of huge chunks of that core market. Probably not in their first attempt but their second one.
