So the PS4 would lose out? cause it ain't got EA Access? Crazy talk... the Speculation should have been; maybe they didn't have enough time to finish those modes on the new gen.. |
Maybe they'd think it was a justified loss. I mean, EA has been riding hard with MS since before the XBone reveal. They were one of the companies that thought the XBone was gonna smoke the PS4. They're one of the companies that wanted DRM. They've got a hard on for Xbox's Azure cloud servers. They want Xbox to be on top because that platform will allow them to pursue whatever goals trying to achieve easier (more so than PS4). There's dealing between EA and MS, we know they work very close together. And EA Sports are a big cash cow: people are gonna buy FIFA, NHL, Madden, etc no matter what (meaning a nerfed PS4 Madden is still gonna sell. I mean, an, in no questions, inferior PS3 version of Madden 08 sold a million copies! PS3 was at 4.5M at that time. 22% attach ratio!) . You think MS and EA wouldn't work something out to make the consumer think that the only way to get the best experience is with the XBone? It's mutually beneficial for both companies.
And let's say it did have to do with not having enough time to finish the modes on the new gen (even though that had last years Madden on PS4/XBone and they were identical, content wise, to the previous gen): do you think they wouldn't try and make an "exclusive DLC" behind EA Access to just patch in those modes on XBone?
