I'm sure they do, but it shouldn't have any impact on the "Publishing revenue platform mix". So I don't see how it could explain PS3 being above 360 for the last quarter.

You can argue however you want but the fact is that Take Two and EA has sold more games on PS3 last quarter than any other platforms and have lost money. I think it's safe to assume that it isn't a really good business model.

The end result is they lost money and their share prices fell 25% in one day. Their business model is broken and investors have no confidence in them.

When the CEO says that they can't afford to ignore the Wii anymore, it means even they recognize they have bet on the wrong pony.

You can bet some of that money was from shipping the PS3 version of Bioshock to stores where it then bombed horribly. I think that next year the PS3's poor software sales are going to catch up with it and stores won't be as willing to take as much PS3 product only to be stuck with it.

 that seems kinda trollish... I mean I have been in many stores where they have an overload of 360 games(one store I saw overordered banjo)

I really doupt a few Bioshocks on the shelves have too much affect on anything.

I bet it has more to do with the PS3 selling games better in Europe, with the stronger Euro it is more profitable to sell games there... like, if the exchange rate is 1.50       T2 would make just as much money selling 1 million in Europe, and they would 1.5 mil in NA. It wasnt until Holiday season that the 360 started doing better than the PS3 there... but that would not be in these fiscals.

I thought it was that upcoming Red Dead Revolver game or something like that??? Meh, we'll see what it is eventually.

The reason PS3 revenue is higher is because they just released the PS3 version of Bioshock. Even though it didn't sell well at retail, shipped means sold to them.

i couldnt read anymore after this. OKAY, think about what youre saying...if youre LOSING money on each game sold your increasing your losses with each "widget" you sell. In your scenerio, youre so hell bent on going against the grain to prove this is a potential "bad" thing for the PS3 youve flawed your entire argument.

While making a game the company begins at a loss, through royalties and sales they MAKE money on every game, true is the fact they start off at a loss and then must sell X games to turn profit, not true is you making up a false reality where a company LOSES money on each game sold...its not hardware, once the game is made the company makes money on the game...and once it crosses the threshold of development costs it creates a profit.

So, to sit here and argue that a 7% higher REVENUE margin somehow points to any likelyhood of creating more LOSSES without having ANY EVIDENCE about dev cost differences between the 360 and PS3 for T2....youre, ahem, awfully foolish.

 No, no it isn't. Bioshock released at the end of the quarter and I don't think they would have shipped a significant amount considering its a year old port... actually I know they wouldnt do that.

It does in the OP! They had 1.5 billion in revenue for the quarter, and they said that the PS3 generated 35% of the revenue for the quarter.
