EA's view of the PC market is that................

...its alive and well and growing faster than consoles.

"One of the things about console and PC gaming I think is worth mentioning," Riccitiello answered in response to an audience question about PC versus console development, "Is that most of us look at the NPD figures that show PC gaming on the decline. I think that's one of the most misunderstood figures in our industry."

"PC is a growth business, and it's a big growth business - you just aren't seeing that at retail. ...PC is not in the dire straits a lot of people in the industry think it is. ...It's actually growing faster than console, but it's appealing to a bigger and different audience."

Riccitiello cited companies like Blizzard, EA's own Pogo, and various Asian online developers as examples of innovative business models that are heavily PC-centric and demonstrating different types of success - and also expressed his hope that as new console platforms are developed, they can adopt more of the capabilities that allow those business models to work on PC.

Now if only they'd pay for their games :)Mau-Justice

No one ever said anything about fun. Infact they described a console to the last detail.

LOL he started the Damage Control mode for nothing:lol: He even puts words in that other guy's mouth:roll:

in the future i predict that newer consoles will be upgradable. you will be able to buy parts to upgrade the CPU and the GPU and people who invest more money into their consoles will get better performances and/or play newer games. It will be EXACTLY the same as a current PC. (they've already taken some big steps into turning your consoles into PCs this generation)

and watch, console fanboys will STILL think their machines are superior.

EA makes most of thier money from PC, ever wonder why they have PC exclusives and no exclusive games for either console? Anyway they recently joined steam and are probably having alot better sales now.Espada12
