Imagine that! The only console for Madden and NCAA football amongst other exclusives they own on thier console and no other. Well, over hear in the United States I think it would be a big deal cause of the football exclusives. What do you yall think?

EA would probably start releasing a new Need for Speed every month with a new car added each time for $60. They will probably sell Madden with only two teams and then realease the 30 other teams as DLC and you will have to pay to buy each team.

Yeah, they would have an almost invincible sport games monopoly, but at the end of the day, how many people would choose Mdden over, Mario, Kratos or Marcus.

It would be a failure.

Sure they would have the money to back the system up, but right now everyone knows Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, having a newcomer come to the game will seem weird for the uninformed consumer. they probably will choose the system that they heard of the most which would be Playstation or Nintendo.

I'm sure they would pick up third parties. they already have a boatload of second party developers. Some companies i'm sure would defect if the console was selling well I mean 2nd party devs not Mario, Kratos etc... they , i'm sure are owned properties.

Yes, but what if none of those consoles were able to have Madden or ncaa football or any other EA exclusive?

The EA console could have Metal Gear games as they're third party titles.

Pitty. Aside from having somewhat better graphics, the NFL 2K series on the Dreamcast was better then the Madden series on PS2... Anyways TC, I dont think the EA system would be good for the gaming market, and since there are 3 other companies to deal with I dont think they want to run the risk of failing and lose what they already have.

As much as I dislike the idea, I have to think that an EA console would be contender in the marketplace. A lot of console players LOVE sports games and EAs first party lineup would be strong overrall. If it happened, I think one of the console manufacturers would have to bow out within a couple generations. It could be EA or it could be one of the current players.

Does anyone else think they would be viable in the marketplace? I kind of get the feeling that no one shares my opinion on this.

I think the Valve thing was a stab at them for releasing L4D2 after only a year.

EA making a console is really too awful to think about in any sort of depth, so I won't.
