At the closure of the New York Stock Exchange Electronic Arts posted its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, showing positive results.

We also learn a few relevant points:

Calendar year 2014 EA was the #1 publisher on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One consoles in the world, driven by the success of Dragon Age™: Inquisition, FIFA 15, NHL®15, Madden NFL 15, EA SPORTSTM UFC®, TitanfallTM, Battlefield 4TM, and FIFA 14.
SimCity™ BuildIt just launched in December and has already achieved 22 million downloads to date and has reached the top 5 iOS game downloads in more than 100 countries.
Dragon Age: Inquisition captivated fans and critics worldwide and it quickly became the most successful launch in BioWare™ history in addition to being named to more than 200 “Game of the Year” lists. The single player campaign alone has been enjoyed for more than 113 million hours.
Monthly active users for EA’s mobile titles averaged more than 160 million in Q3.
EA’s mobile sports games continue to engage players, with Madden NFL Mobile and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team™ together averaging 45% more monthly active players through Q3 compared to our previous iterations in the same period last year.

The publisher also released a revenue breakdown by platform (even if they just group PC vs Consoles vs Mobile) and by product type.

TBF they have released the most games, like 70% of those games are franchises. I'd be more impressed with stats about sales of their 'less annualised' and new ip's ala titanfall, PvZGW peggle etc.

Well, the DLC business model is certainly working. They are making three times as much on add-ons and subscriptions than on a base game...

Ultimate Teams, BF Premium, skins, shortcuts.....say what you want, people, but it is obvious that they are not just here to stay, they will be more numerous as the time progresses.

I actually have no problem with the way BF4 did it. The premium package was a good deal even though I got bored of the game before getting to try most of them.

They could turn a profit every year with just FIFA. If they ever lose the license to that , they would crash and burn YOY.

He read it wrong. It is just 3x more revenue from DLC than full downloads of games. The chart was just digital revenue. All this proves is that a vast majority of games they sell are physical copies.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
