Forums - Sales Discussion - IOS BOMBA!!! All EA iOS Games 99 cents on App. Store

http://www.gamezone.com/news/entire-ea-game-catalog-just-0-99-apiece-on-the-ios-app-store

What we are seeing here is the death of IPhone gaming. Casuals don't want Dead Space clearly, they want Sudoku and Solitaire.

Other games discounted include Battlefied, Mortal Kombat, Need for Speed, NBA Jam, Mass Effect and Command and Conquer. Even Spore and The Sims can't take the heat, everything must go!!!

 

Merry Christmas



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

A week before Christmas?


Honestly, i started this as a tongue in cheek poke at the handheld console doomsayers.

It's not just EA. Sega, Gameloft, tons of smaller publishers... they're all jockeying for the attention of everybody who has an iDevice under the Christmas tree. You see these sales every major holiday, but the frenzy is never so large as it is in the season of spending.

iDevice sales predictions for the holiday quarter exceed 50 million units. That's the pie EA et al are trying to get a piece of.
