If the PS3 is losing them money, think of how poorly they're doing on everything else.

Ubisoft...now EA >.>

Read the link. The part of the chart with higher PS3 revenues were estimates. Only the Q1 through Q3 FY08 were actual sales numbers.

And it's scratch resistant. And come on.....costs? Everything new costs more. Who does'nt pay more for newer tech, the price is really falling fast anyways. A lot of people said the exact same things about the DVD when it came out. "We don't need DVD's, we'll rather use 4 CD's per game", come on!!

[QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]EA seem to like the PS3, it's weird.Vitro-Vivo

EA likes everything.

Basically they are trying to sell a product, nothing more. I doubt this game will sell well on the PS3 anyway... if nothing else, because most everyone who wanted to play the game played it on PC/360.

not to mention a whole less warfreaks. :P

I don't understand why people still use that stereotype... The overwhelming majority just voted in the candidate against war, with that topic being one of the primary reasons (if not THE primary reason) for his success...

The economy is what decided the election over the last couple of months, although either of them could have come up with the inept response that the Obama adminitration has pushed so far. ****ing American 'two incompetent aristocratic candidates' political structure.

EA's already released their Q3 FY09.

I dont understand why people on this site are married to MS. Its so obvious that the PS3 is miles ahead of the 360 in tech. and capabilities its not even funny. Yet all i hear on system wars is 360 this 360 that. When it gets crushed in the next few years in graphics and superior exclusives what will be your excuse then? Your out of ammo already.

Blu-ray as a whole has a faster transfer rate, but the PS3 Blu-ray player is only 2X speed.

Compare the 2X read speed of Blu-ray to the 12X DVD read speed in the 360, this is why many PS3 games install for faster read times.

Is that the reason why the 360's optical drive so loud?

I don't own a 360 so cannot say, but I imagine the faster rotational speed would result in noise generation, not that the PS3s cooler is silent either.

Costs more?! And those are the only advantages? Srsly... Like people have said... more space(50 GB...*cough*), scratch resistant, though I agree with your statement that the Blu-Ray player reads a bit slow compared to an optical drive...which also means Blu-Ray drives are quieter...Besides, a 360 game to a PS3 game money wise are both = FYI...Toys R' Us anyone?

Go check out one of those PS3 vs. 360 noise vids on Youtube and you'll know...

i see now people did not "get" what i said. he said there are only advantages, so i named to bad points meaning he was wrong. unless he felt those were good points to the BR disks and the ps3s reader. do you get it now or should i type with smaller words and more spaces?surrealnumber5
Unless I'm crazy, in your own words you said "its slower and cost more" as being the "only advantages to the table"... I did not misread anything...

you missed a pause between them denoting sarcasm so yes you did misread. you inferred incorrectly what i implied. so yes you are wrong about what it is i authored. im sorry if you cant deal with that

Well sorry for misimplying but you kind of have to expound more since this is the internetz and sarcasm doesn't exactly work too well here... if anyone read that besides the author it would seem like you were bashing the Blu-Ray by saying slow read speeds and costing more are the only advantages to Blu-ray which obviously isn't true...

Step 1: Remove fanboy glasses.

Step 2: Realize that there are a virtually identical number of 360 and PS3 fanboys that post here.

Step 3: Put the fanboy glasses back on, because you know you really want to.

i thought because of the person i was quoting was so absolute it would only make since that what i said was a critique of what he said. BluRay disks has massive disk space that is good but it also has its down sides and if one is going to recognize one they should also do the other. if my post was stand alone i could see how one would think it to be that of a troll, but it was not. any who if you like the system or a big fan of the format that is great but BR is not in every way better then the well developed DVD format, yet at least

funny most polls here anything sony wins by a landslide, LBP almost came close to matching SMG as a platformer here in SW. what kind of crazy is that. or the SF4 poll its just what hd system are you the biggest fan of, and the ps3 won by miles

I actually was never under the impression that any fiscal year neccassarily corresponds to the actual calendar date. I did, however, believe that EA tracked their fiscal year starting around September-October. Evidently I'm completely wrong. Sorry and disregard my previous statements about the matter.

Actually. what he said is true. Unless you're one of those who thinks the 5 GB mandatory installs (because of the slow read speed) for almost all PS3 games is worth the extra 0.00001% faster load speeds.

well wii games also are DVDs as are most pc games both are cheaper then ps3 games but i was talking about the bluray drive in the ps3 that both reads slower then its console counter parts and costs more.
