It's all about Europe.

Games cost more over there, and sell better on the PS3.

revenue is not the same as profit. chances are they had to spend more on the ps3 too.

It's called game release sked. Haze was rleeased for Ubi during that period, and a soccer game (UEFA) for EA. due to the excahnge rate, if a PS3 game sells more titles in Europe than the US for the 360/ps3 split, it imapct things...but when you look at the release sked for both Ubi and EA over the next next 6 months, it favors 360. Also, I think EA's current qtr is going to show a MUCH different piture, based on the release of NCAA football and Madden....titles not sold much out of NA.

Regardless, they made more profit which means they made more money overall on the PS3. You have to spend money to earn money.

ugh, that sounded so cliche.

This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

What's Ubisoft been doing on the DS? As far as I know, they've been releasing long streams of Tom Clancy games on the HD consoles, not to mention Assassin's Creed and Haze.
