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

Aren't all of EA's Vita games available as bundle with the hardware? EA gets their money for the games while Sony eats the cost to make their hardware more attractive.


Yup

At least Fifa and Need for Speed are.

And Fifa has the football monopoly on PSVita, there's no PES on it.

If we look at the sales:

Madden Wii > Madden Vita.

Fifa Wii > Fifa Vita.

Fifa 3DS > Fifa PSP.

 

So it has to be that or the games unreleased on Nintendo systems.

Yup

Those came out in Q2 FY13, not Q4 FY13.



Consumers aren't going to be interested in lazy ports/expensive ones (ME3)



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Thread edited for accuracy...ok

WII U IS NOT LISTED.

Title fail.

All caps...you seem frustrated.  its been changed.  Hopefully EA will elaborate their Wii U revenue line since there will be none in the upcoming quarters.

Sorry but what are those 3 Vita games that came out between Jan 2013 and Mar 2013?

The revenue numbers account for new releases and back catalogue sales.


So, revenue actually increased as the quarters went by? So, more people bought those games 2 quarters after they released than in the quarter of release?

Shouldnt you be commenting on how EA is losing money?  I thought that was your modus operandi



what a load of crap, comparing apples and oranges. I am yet to see a EA game on 3DS lol, and well not liek they put much effort in the other two consoles.



 

 

EA's profitability on Sony platforms has always vs Nintendo is kind of obvious.
