Forums - Sales Discussion - EA Posts Fiscal Q3 Net Loss of $641 million

Their Wii games bombed harer than the HD games so dunno what your talking about. I blame Pandemic for this. They faied to make a Dark Knight game before their license expired. Spent tons on making it, and their 2 games Mercenaries and LOTR Conquest failed critically and commercially. Remember, EA spent 800 million to acquire them and Bioware. If The Old Republic fails like peo0ple think it will, EA in in deep *hit.

MySims Party and MySims Kart to the rescue

Littlest Pet Shop to the rescue.  :)

LITTLEST PET SHOP sold 2.8 million copies on the Nintendo DS, Wii and PC. In the holiday quarter, it was a top-five title on the Nintendo DS in Europe and North America, based on NPD data.

Yep at its peak a couple of years ago EA gained around $500 million a year.

daaaaamn, just when they started giving more quality titles than the last few years.

Hopefully 2009 will be a much better year since they'll be focusing more on PC and Wii than HD Consoles.

Yeah, their casual games division is retarded. But the guys in EA games and EA sports have a better appreciation of what's happening in the market.

Dunno. Peter Moore is a good guy and when he speaks he seems to get the Wii however if we examine what sport games are selling on Wii we can see that many of those aren't typical EA sports games ( example : no need at all to have a official and costly licensee ).

Hudson Deca Sports, Namco We Ski, Ubisoft Shawn Snowboarding are example of third-party that had found success on the genre on Wii and they all try to follow the lesson teach by Wii Sports.
