Forums - Gaming - EA last quarter had higher revenue from the PSP/Vita than Wii/DS/3DS

And what exactly have they made for Nintendo-consoles to deserve sales, the gimped version of Mass Effect 3, the reskinned version of FIFA, the reskinned version of Madden or the 4 months late port of Need For Speed


And what have they made for the Vita/PSP? A NFS:MW with it's ups and downs and also only reskinned versions of Madden and FIFA, maybe a FIFA game for the PSP I don't even know, but if so it's probably a reskinned version of FIFA 09 at best and I don't think there was any difference in the ammount of advertising, if any they were Sony ads not EA's.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

So if you don't make games for a system you don't get money from it? Shocking

Or if you bring ports over and they dont sell and they are not reflected in the numbers? Shocking

Only one game for the 3DS and 2 for the Wii U. You obviously can't expect to make money with only 3 games. Also, 9 million revenue for only Fifa 13 3DS? 

Btw Wii U is not mentioned in those numbers you gave, only Wii and "Nintendo handhelds".

Doesnt this just show that they dont need Nintendo platforms?


sorry for off topic: Name of your avatar?

Ontopic: Smartphones hurt the 3DS and kill the Vita. This is not exactly news though.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

3,1% of operating profit in 2013 fiscal year. Don't use non-GAAP values to evaluate.

You guys are acting as if the Vita got any better games.. what's worse, getting a bad wiiu port or a lazy port of a 7 months port for vita which is the Fifa 13..
Only Need for speed was worth purchasing.. and so EA earned more money on PS than on nintendo systems. YAAY!



Their ios and android games are doing great.. They could easily drop handheld support and mobiles would pick up the loss

If you look at the numbers you will see that the "Nintendo handhelds" section got 9 million in revenue with 1 game while the "Sony handhelds" section got 20 million in revenue with 3 games.

If the 3DS would have gotten the same number of games as the Vita then the revenue would have probably been the same.

Excellent!



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

This is why I need to reduce my time on gaming forums.
