Sorry, LBP is gonna be HUGE!!!

Does that make you feel better?

oddly, no... :(

Spores selling really well. Good on it.

EA made more money this quarter from its mobile division than its Wii division. Gee, EA, I wonder if your revenue this quarter should tell you something about the viability of your business plan?

EA just disgusts me. How can a company so big, with so many franchises and games - lose 300m in just 3 months? That comes to 100m/month, or just over $3m PER DAY lost.

Nice one.

If they keep going like this, they could double or triple their revenue in the next 10 years - and push their losses up to $1bn/qrt. Sounds like a good goal ;)

They seem to really want to explore full downloadables. Burnout Paradise was a success for them, it's sold like 20k+ on PSN.

PC revenue doesn't count for Internet services, Subscriptions and Digital Distribution revenues. So the "PC revenue" is skewed.

For example, you can expect the $140 Million figure of "Subscription Services" revenue to be entirely from PC. You can also expect a big chunk of that $1053 Million of "Co-Publishing and Distribution" to be PC because of Digital Distribution (it made $90 millions in Q1 FY09 alone) and publishing/distribution of some games like Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Orange Box (PC) in the last 5 quarters.

You need to take figures from several places to have a better picture of PC's true revenue.

@ Shio wouldn't the Co-Publishing and distribution area be of more benifit to a console such as the 360?

No, because the "Co-publishing and Distribution" includes revenue made from digital distribution ($90 million in Q1 FY09, remember?), in which we know PC makes most of DD's revenue; and EA co-publishes/distributes more PC games than any other platform.

EA launched their own digital store(EA Store) in September 2007 and started releasing their games in Direct2Drive, and you'll notice a huge increase in "co-publishing and distribution" revenue from Q2 FY08 (july-sept 07 - $33 millions) to all quarters after, ending with a 548% Year-to-Year increase in Q2 FY09 ($214 millions). Xbox 360 on the other hand, has 2 XBLA games 2 Xbox Originals from EA being sold online, and DLC + Paid unlockables in some games.

Another part to consider in "Co-publishing and Distribution" is that EA did co-publish and distribute more non-EA PC games than any other platform, probably because there's alot more independent PC devs than Console devs. So in the last 15 months, EA got to publish/distribute these PC games:
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Orange Box
Portal (stand-alone version)
Team Fortress 2 (stand-alone version)
Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (stand-alone version)
EA Sports Gameshow
FIFA Manager 08
Hell's Gate: London
Rail Simulator

While very few non-EA Xbox 360 games were distributed by EA:
Rock Band
Rock Band 2
Orange Box
Wing Commander Arena (XBLA)

@squilliam
Just to be clear, it's not my intention to troll Xbox 360 or anything like that. I'm only trying to make some sense about EA's PC revenue. 360's revenue is really good, btw.
