A publicly traded company won't find investors unless it can promise to deliver profits at some point in time. If there are no investors, there is no money to hire people. That's the way the market works, whether you like it or not.

Try getting someone to invest in a business saying you would rather hire people than make profits. You won't get a dime.

this is a good thing

sports games never die

Damage control

As for "revenue doesn't matter, only profit" well, without revenue you cannot get profit. Also, if you consider that most of these games are Multiplatform and/or ports, the Dev costs of the PS3 version aren't as high as they would be for a PS3 exclusive version. This will also matter as time goes and on and PS3 Dev costs go down and install base increases.

If anybody should be happy it should be European PS3 owners, this would hopefully lead to more Devs ensuring a EU release for all games and also that the game is released ASAP.

Typical fanboy arguments whenever something good is said about ps3.assume the worst possibility for ps3 through any possible hole.

bluray wins over HD-DVD
fanboys:who cares, digital distribution will be the standard in a year or less anyway

kojima says ps3 is a beast
fanboys: He meant it's too hard to develope for,not that it's a powerful hardware

ps3 brings more revenues to 3rd party than xbox360
fanboys:the ps3's deveploment costs are very high and 360's are as low as they can be ,so if we compare profits 360 is sure to win

Superman would destroy the Hulk.  He could just labotamize him with heat vision from space if he wanted to.

i cant believe people are in here trying to argue that revenue is bad... i hate to say it but thats major damage control

No, he means the profit for EA.  Since PS3 development is largely excepted as more expensive, needing more manpower and time.

Not bad, irrelevent without having a profit breakdown.  For all we know PS3's development could of cost more, making the difference in revenue insignificant or maybe even worse for PS3.

Revenue isn't bad... but without a breakdown of cost... it's irrelevant and your unable to make any actual conclusions from it.

The facts in the OP only tell us that that ps3 is not in a bad situation as many fanboys like to think and that it's doing ok, not that it already won the war againest 360 or anything.

Yet there's a lot of posts about how it wouldn't mean any difference in the ps3's "already sealed" future ,or it's just a stroke of luck that would never happen again,or revenues don't matter only profits(see my above post)

People aren't arguing that revenue is bad. It's not good either. You can't assign success or failure in business terms based on revenue alone.
