So less their big acquisition, EA actually made money.

No. Again, M&A are already balanced before net income is calculated. EA plain old, flat out, lost money. 

 

I don't get it. The $620 million expenditure for aquisitions of Bioware & Pandemic is higher than the $454 million net loss. That should mean 620-454= +$166 mill profit for the "EA plain old", just like jheco05 said.

Care to explain?
