That's free market economy, another company can feel free to step in and make a polished NFL game for the PS3. But there is a little problem here. If I'm not mistaken Madden is the only way to go if you want the proper player and team names. So if EA has some form of monopoly on the NFL, they owe it to owners of all platforms to release quality products on each console.

Media of Honor? A semi-new franchise.

Well this is EA. Most of their money goes to buying the licenses, so there's no money to spend to game development.
Why people are complaining, is that PS fans are used to EA:s focus on their console.
This is normal and people have been talking about this for years, so it's nothing new.
This could be considered also as a sign for their shareholders, that they are doing something to get more money.And shares are starting to rise in stock.

As EA:s slogan says: It's in the game.

Basically if they are not willing to put the time and effort into make a quality product for a particular platform then they shouldn't bother at all. To put out an inferior product (and then tell everyone it is inferior) and expect people to PAY THEM MONEY FOR IT is blatant money grabbing. If they are willing to admit that the PS3 version is inferior then it should be marketed as a budget title. Put up or shut up.

JRI.

Makes sense to me and is perfectly logical, legitimate, and cost-efficient.

This is business, and this is just logical. Its not like they are using some new strategy to piss people off.

If the user bases were reversed Im sure they would go the other way. 

Welcome to the last two generations of videogames, where some developers partially ignored a console to focus on another... usually the one with the biggest userbase (PS1-Saturn, PS2-Gamecube).

I interpret this as EA just moving to the biggest mover of software among the 360/PS3, which is the 360. When the 360 stops selling 2X the amount of software that the PS3 does, then things will be renogotiated. Anyway, this isn't a big loss for Sony at all right now, b/c they have been getting a lot more exclusives coming to them than they have for the last 5-6 months. Things are indeed looking up for Sony, so as with the whole Paramount and blu-ray thing, don't make this count for more than its worth.

Yeah makes perfect sense. It'll be interesting when the Wii overtakes the 360 in NA though. Then lots of factors have to be weighed since install base only comparison won't work. Anyways, that's an argument for another day. For now it is completely logical.

I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. Every day there is a new topic on EA discussing the same subject.
