Ouch, they don't seem to be making much money on $3,000,000,000 in revenue. (Before aquisitions)



Tease.

Q4 PLATFORM NET REVENUE MIX

Platform Q4 Revenue YOY %

PlayStation 2: $166m +42%
PLAYSTATION 3: $152m +192%
Xbox 360: $128m +56%
Wii: $75m +108%
Xbox $1m -86%
Nintendo GameCube $0m -100%


 How can EA make bigger profit on PS3 since all their games are multiplatform and sales better on 360 because of installed base?

I think some people here just read the title and not the content of the original article. It actually shows that EA are doing really well, as they have increased YoY sales and acquired assets that are far in excess of their losses.

 Thanks, saved me the bother. :)

Yeah, EA is doing great... unfortunately.

They would have made money had they not been busy acquiring companies left and right. It's looking too rosy for them... Someone needs to bring them down.
