The economies for many countries have been doing poorly since the turn of the century, and it was pretty bad in early 2008 as well.


Not true, Global growth has been at 5% (which is decent) for more than a decade. There may be some countries that had problem (Germany) but others made up for it in a big fashion (Spain, Ireland, Easter countries, China India, Brazil, USA ...)

Which games did EA develop for PSP by the way? This must be the first company that has more sales on PSP than on DS.

@ Commando )

if they were growth these numbers wouldn't make sense, for PS2 software sales obviously have a large negative growth and not a positive one

they really represent the share each consoles software sales make up of the total game sales revenue of these companies

 


@ Kyros )


the problem (for EA) with the DS is,that sport games just don't sell on that plattform, while they do wii-well on PSP

This is why EA is developing on PS3 first now ^-^

 

Wrong. The reason EA (and many other multiplat devs) develop "PS3 first" (a somewhat inaccurate statement since all development is done on PC) is because it's much easier to port from PS3 to 360 and the results tend to be almost, if not entirely, identical. Whereas when they were doing it the other way around, the PS3 version suffered noticebly and that in turn resulted in less sales. It's a not a matter of platform specific revenue.

what we see in NPD isnt showing the full picture of whats happening worldwide. ps3 software must be killing the 360 software in europe which is probably why they make more money on ps3.

These numbers reflect the number of copies sold to retail and not to consumers.  For all we know many places in Europe may have ordered more copies of PS3 versions of games rather than 360 because of Sony's presence over there.  Since 360 console sales have increased since the price cuts I suspect the picture is going to be different when they report next quarter (this goes as well for Ubisoft where the 360 has already gained ground this past quarter).
