It is amazing how much money they made off of Wii.....it goes to show you how much profit can be made from making a game for the system. Most of their games bombed compared to their PS/Xbox counterparts.

I why if Nintendo will ever enter the mobile market (game development only). Not that I'd want them to divert any from DS/Wii, but imagine how big Mario would be.

Basically.....if EA continues to put out inferior products, then of course no PS3 owner will buy it. Madden, NCAA, Pro Street, Orange Box....all crappy ports from 360. Definately not worth $60, if you can't get an equal or better experience. Hopefully things will turn around with Burnout Paradise, though not a MAJOR title, PS3 is the lead console, so it shouldn't play like crap.

Or instead of doing lead consoles, how about they take the Infinity Ward approach, and put two different teams on the two different platforms, and take advantages of the strengths of both systems to make a great game across the board

For those of you who complain about quality of games from EA on PS3, and the face that it is the main reason people don't buy their games, this the least amount of profit made for EA is the PS3, and that if they didn't port 360 games or produced better ports this would change. I ask you, what is the incentive for EA to do such a thing? Why would they spend more money on developing games specifically for 360 as opposed to porting them? They don't is the answer. When they make almost nothing off the PS3 to begin with, why would they spend MORE money on titles for the PS3. It is a catch-22. You might start seeing better ports for the PS3 when it actually brings in decent amounts of revenue to developers/publishers, but until, expect more of the same.

I don't see why, because more people have cell phones than PS3. That is good to see EA having a good market share of mobile gaming 8)

Because if they take the time to learn how to optimize for the PS3 ONCE, they can rinse and repeat with all there other games, I'm not saying that its a possibility that some gamers don't buy there stuff because it underperforms, I'm saying thats a FACT. I DO NOT buy a game that performs like ass on our PS3. Call of Duty 4 was just fine, as was Oblivion and Assassins creed. I WILL NOT buy a sports game that doesn't even run at 30 fps.

If EA's even going to bother making ports they might as well make them good so people have incentive to buy them. Like I said ps3 owners have no problems buying good games, they really don't, and the ps3 install base is in fact growing, would you really want to cut yourself out of that market? Think about it this way, if the PS3 really is in fact "hurting for games", wouldent you want to be the one with the "killer ap" or "reason to buy a ps3"? I know for a fact I sure would. Look at what Ubi-soft did with the wii in its early years, they peddled low management crap onto it and people ate it up. It's EA's own damn fault we that don't buy there games, we paid a decent penny for our dinner table, should we really eat garbage?
