EA: Sony Saving The Industry From Disaster

Just last week Sony Defense Force reported that Sony not only managed to make a profit last quarter, but the PS3 was also outselling the Xbox 360. To add more insult to injury for Microsoft and Nintendo, EA is reporting in their latest quarterly results that Sony is the reason for the vast majority of their earnings.

Q3 FY08 Sony/EA Revenue:

PS2: $301M

PS3 $102M

PSP $74M

Total Sony Revenue: $477M

How did Sony's competitors manage in comparison? Not well. Thankfully Sony exists in order to keep the industry alive, otherwise we would be witnessing a gaming depression larger than what was exhibited back in the 80's when Atari released E.T. for their gaming system.

Q3 FY08 Nintendo/EA Revenue:

Wii $139M

NDS $122M

Total Nintendo/EA Revenue = $261M

What say you Reggie? Not your problem? When third party software sales are absolutely dismal despite record hardware sales for both the Wii and DS, it is your problem. Apparently, people are picking up the GameCu....err, Wii just to play Wii Sports and couldn't care less about more prominent franchise titles, and especially third party efforts which do not sell on the system. This could spark a long-term trend that will curtail support for Nintendo platforms and lead to stifled sales. But again, Reggie, not your problem? Nintendo's still at least making money themselves, right? Well, you're certainly doing significantly better than our last place contender...

Total Microsoft/EA Revenue = $196M

Nobody even likes EA. You're hurting SONY by posting this more than you are helping them. SkullboyX

That explains why they are making so much profit. :?

How did Sony do with just the PS3 software compared to the XBox 360 software? That's what I thought. :lol:

What a joke this thread is. How many games did EA release on the Wii and DS? Not as many as what was released on the PS2, PS3 and PSP obviously. EA Sucks.

Sony Defense Force as a reference source = Topic Fail.

These are the same people that gave Halo 3 a 3/10, SMG a 1/10, and Lair a 9/10. They are singularily THE most biased game site on the net, bare none. And they ALWAYS skew the facts to Playstations favor, especially with that "Sony Family" BS.

SDF has LESS credibility than a schizophrenic politician... and the person that uses them for a source....

Just last week Sony Defense Force reported

Stopped reading right there.

AdobeArtist never got the memo.

they left out the fact that wii sells more software than the ps3 AND 360 on a weekly basis. and what does he by "Apparently, people are picking up the GameCu....err, Wii just to play Wii Sports and couldn't care less about more prominent franchise titles"? isn't super mario galaxy the fastest selling mario game ever and didn't SSBB just outsell every ps3/360 game in japan in just ONE day?

EDIT: oops, didn't see the SDF part at the begginning :P

AdobeArtist never got the memo.

Nike_Air

What memo would that be?

Are you seriously citing Sony Defense Force to back up your claim? Seriously? :|

This is a new low from renegade now he's using sony defense force as source :lol:-wii60-

Well it's not like what they are saying this time is not the truth.

It's not so much the one time that they might be telling the truth, but the gajillions of other times they lied. You know, credibility and all...

"truth" and "SDF" don't belong in the same sentence :|

what if the words "far from the" were in front of the truth ;)

It's very possible that there revenue numbers are skewed, do they have proof for their numbers? munu9

EXACTLY!! Based on SDF's past article practices, there's no way to verify the accuracy of the numbers they report, and certainly no reason to believe them. I'll say again, SDF has less credibility than a schizophrenic politician.
