Sony Earns Big $ for EA
Playstation 3 Games are the most profitable for Electronic Arts, according to fresh financial papers released just last night.
EA software sales earned the company USD 139 million during the quarter just from PS3 sales, followed by PC games with USD 86 million and Xbox 360 with USD 81 million. Oddly enough the PS2 was only marginally behind with USD 79 million, while Wii and PSP tied on USD 57 million.
Mobile games performed well to take USD 44 million, leaving DS in last position - for a change - with USD 21 million.
Sony systems combined to make a total of USD 275 million for EA during those three months. This indicates which Console EA will be investing most of its money in the future.
From my point of view the reason is Sony’s blue ray, and its enhanced security features which have helped reduce piracy. EA and other game producers are cashing in on the technology.
Wii and DS development is one of the areas grey-maned EA boss John Riccitiello has already ear-marked for extra focus, revealing he has 40 games in the works for both platforms.
