We appreciate EA saying it's not all about the money, but hasn't Nintendo already gone down as 'the Disney of videogames'?



 To quote Jim Rome, whenever someone says its not about the money, it is about one thing, the money.  That is why EA milks all their franchises to death and is willing to put out a 7/10 game because it will make them money now instead of trying to make it a 9/10 or a 10/10 game that could make them more money later.


Ironically that is why they are learning they need to increase their quality.  Madden 08 sold poor to expectations and worse than Madden 07.  Why bc casuals also check out reviews if they are going to plunk down $60, and people that bought Madden 07 felt burned and wait for EA to release a complete version later.  So yeah, traditionally, crap to the market = money now.  But long term this will be the end of EA (at least no growth ).  Their CEO know's that.  They'll still release crap title that aren't supposed to sell much, but I expect that the quality of their games will increase.  I mean can they go down?
