EA didn't create those innovative new games just from forum batter, the reason they've been searching for new IP lately is because their yearly iteration IP were seeing a steady decrease in overall profitability and sales potential, more innovating (or just plain more) competition along with higher development cost forced their hands. True their new IPs didn't pan out as well as they'd hope but if EA never try to establish new IPs and just stuck with their current IPs they'll be a sinking ship just the same.

I love the new EA. They're one of my favorite developers this gen. I hope things turn around for them.

well after rock band came out everyone was like why buy GH at all when you can download the music you want instead of buying a whole new game for another 60-100 dollars. i mean cmon after world tour there should have never been another GH for at least a year or two. but yet within a year were gonna have two maybe three new GH games to buy. to me its just over doing it. just look at the madden franchise. i think once they get to a certain point they shoudl just create downloadable updates once a year for like ten dollars. i mean they have the graphics and stuff on the ps3 and xbox360. im starting to like the fluidity of the new madden for wii. but after they get to a graphical point they shoudl just do downloads. that is why people only buy one madden game every two or three years. now if you didnt hve to buy a whole new game and just downloads they will make more money that way cause more people would buy teh updates. just like the sims series. i mean when you have ten add on games sold seperately at the store for the same game for 30 bucks tha tis just sad. no wonder they arnt seeing teh sales they want. i mean even when the n64 came out and the hint of the DD drive was around and they were gonna put updates on a disc and update the game every year people got excited then they started doing what they are doing now and sales died off. even i was thinkin back then it was a great idea to just do updates and not just come out with whole new games every year. can you imagine releasin a whole new game once every three to 4 years to update graphics and in between have just roster updates? that is a billion dollar idea.

You're sick of people saying "Take out Guitar Hero and Rock Band", right? Well, what else is there? Mario and Sonic (which shouldn't even really count because Nintendo could've just as easily made the game), Carnival Games, Lego Star Wars, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Game Party, Raving Rabbids (all editions ), MySims, High School Musical, Star Wars: TFU, Smarty Pants, Super Monkey Ball, Cooking Mama, Lego Indiana Jones, Shaun White, We Ski, My Fitness Coach, Active Life, and Ben 10.

I'll give the nod to House of the Dead, the Resident Evils, CoDs, and Red Steel (not Tiger Woods though, as EA Sports games *if not done stupidly cough All-Play cough* generally sell well no matter the platform). I'll also acknowledge that the above list is a lot of games.....but surely those aren't the games you should be touting (even though they are in the majority) as reasons why "Yes, the Wii DOES sell 3rd party software" especially when the games YOU care about (the likes of MadWorld) sell abysmally. If the above games continue to sell like they do, that'll only call for more similar games to be produced, whereas if games like MadWorld continue to sell badly, it'll call for less games to be made that cater to its' audience
