EA reports that for the first time ever they made as much on software on ps3 as they did on 360, With an increase on the ps3 side and a drop on the 360 side.

They are still making money on the PS2? Well it had to happen eventually. Maybe that means more original IPs

Sports games. Remember a lot of casual gamers still have the PS2 and sports games are very popular among casual gamers.

yeah much like the ps1 before it, the ps2 sees little support from the main franchises or developers it usually gets a back end release of a sports games and unknown developer releases start at the time the newest system is released. Not a bad thing but its what it is.

What's up with this? First a 360-negative thread about stickers, now a thread about publishers making as much from software sales on ps3 as they do on 360 due to ps3 sales increasing and 360 sales dropping... Your game is off lately, bro...

Good to hear. Seeing as how "Mass Effect 2" was previously only released for the PC/360 its not surprising that the 360 made up a slightly higher percentage of their profits.

And "Dead Space" sold more on the PS3 FYI.

Isn't it their top selling franchise now? Or is that still The Sims?

Yeah, PES 2011 for PS2 for instance... The game was nothing like the PES 2011 for PC/PS3/360, it was a copy pasted pes 2009 with another hud and menu

Rather erroneous claim without a link. All credibility is now gone. Thank-you for playing the system wars game, you have now lost. GAME OVER. Please insert a new username to continue.

I saw no proof of anything in that article.. Might as well had a random person make a article on a site and proclaim information as that what is seems happened.

That doesn't exactly make sense, as Fifa has been an exisiting frachise for years.

My guess is all the exclusive content EA has included in the PS3 versions helped to tipped the scales in PS3's favour.

This.

Even though I'll never play Dead Space: Extraction (as I'm pretty sure you need Move, which I won't even use if I get for free) I still got DS2 for the PS3 over 360. I'm almost certain I'm not the only person out of 60+ million (both consoles have sold about this much right?) who has done that.

Are you sure it was only 16?

I remember hearing the months July and August being added by Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar due to how arrogant and full of themselves they were. Although I'm not sure if it's exactly true..

Guess multiplats are the way to go for third-part devs, not that we didn't know that already.
