Looking at their financials, they don't make any money at all for the last few quarters. |
True, but as someone already pointed out if EA cannot continue to make multi-platform games their value as a company shrinks to a fraction of what you would have to pay for it. Not a good buisness move in my opinion.

Celebrity Mole: Gaming Edition?
Yesterday it was EA entering the console race now this. I admire the internet sometimes...
Most likely started by a disgruntled EA shareholder.
If they didn't want to spend the few billion it would have taken to buy Take-Two a couple years back, there's no way EA is in their price range.

This wouldn't be about EA's viability on its own, but about Microsoft's gain as a whole, and making EA Sports exclusive to the 360 (sans Madden, which MUST be multi-platform) would be a big blow to Sony (and a minor one to Nintendo). Locking in all the other EA games as exclusives only furthers this.
I'm still not saying it would be a wise idea, mind you, but it would be interesting to see. And by "interesting," this PC-gamer means "somewhat horrifying."
Microsoft is not a gaming company. Buying all of EA seems to be too big compared to their current efforts in the gaming division.
The problem with any of the big three buying a multi-platform developers is that if you make them exclusive, revenue and profit would be decimated as much of the company is dedicated to multi-platform development.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

You may not be acquainted with buying things, but not thinking something is worth the money doesn't mean you'll never make a larger purchase. "I don't want to spend $35 on dinner, so clearly I will never buy a new suit." Take-Two is badly mismanaged and constantly in financial trouble. EA may be more expensive, but there's a much larger upside.
I hope they do, cause they will never make their monies back!

Well, MS puts all its exclusives on the PC, so you shouldn't be worried at all. Now if you were a PS3/Wii gamer, horrifying is about right.
