Lems are so proud of their software sales. Check this out.

"This time last year, sales of PS3 games accounted for only $13 million of EA's total net revenue. But this time this year? PS3 games account for $139 million in sales. Which is a 969% increase, and is miles ahead of 360 sales, which "only" made the company $81 million. Don't bother asking us how this happened, we have no idea. As for the other systems, the PC was the second-biggest earner at $86 million with PS2 sales just behind the 360 at $79 million."

EA's biggest source of software sale revenue is not the wii, not the 360, but the PS3.

I dont care for this kinda stuff, I play games, I dont profit from them. But I think I speak for everyone when I say...owned?

But keep in mind these figures are for EA's software sales, not the entire industry. That being said, EA releases a lot of games that a lot of people buy into, and it seems the PSTriple is on top.

Talk about a turn around from a slow start huh. Boy do I love fanning the flames of fanboy hatred.

What say you, lems? Or sheep? Lol@sheep even your kiddy casual crap isn't bringing in as much green for EA as the PS3.

well there still making More off of 360. its just PS3 software sales have increased which caused the extra profits

Its all very confusing best not get into this crap

The 360 still has I believe roughly double the attach rate so this article really does nothing.

that's...pretty astonishing actually....I mean doesn't 360 usually sell like twice the PS3?

hmm...tides turning?

PS3 profits just increased. They made more off the 360.SSCyborg

It says Ps3 actually made them more than 360 games did.

This is bad though, no company should be helping EA make money!

Maybe because the 360 have the largest selections of games coming from different gaming companies and not just EA. :roll:

It didn't make sense to me considering 360's larger userbase and how 360 owners tend to purchase more games.

You also have to look at the size differences between eaech library. Less choices on the PS3 should lead to more EA sales.

how so?

if anything I'd expect older EA titles (the ones that dropped in price on the 360) to push more sales for the 360

Also EA hasn't been the dominant publisher on the PS3.

EA was in that Q.

More choices for consumers usually mean their money will be spread more. When there are less choices, that money is more concentrated.

And if I don't respond, its because I've dozed off. =\

EA may reward PS3 with an exclusive or two if this keeps up. And I still don't understand people who boasts about sales and is NOT a shareholder of said company

My statement is clearly speaking of the past so yeah actually I do know what I'm talking about. The Madden sell's for the PS3 are obviously not higher than the 360 at the moment due to less consoles sold. Though the sells from Madden 07 to Madden 08 doubled for the PS3 and you can bet it will increase when Madden 09 comes out. Also the total of PS2 and PS3 sells of Madden far outwiegh those of the 360.

Uh oh, last year we hear about how EAs biggest bread winner is 360 and cows repsonse?

Cows: ea is a bad developer they suck and cannot do games good on the ps3.

Cows now: EA is the most amazing game company ever it never had a problem doing games on ps3 good.

lol you cant have it both ways guys, you cannot decry a developer then when its games are making money on your system then all of a sudden back it.
I never backed EA even when 360 was its bread winner.

WilliamRLBaker

its still true for some of their games. You got to admit the they sucked really bad at first.

I am extremely surprised at this. I would never have thought EA would do better ps3 wise than 360. But EA is a very global company and the ps3 has been outselling the 360 week to week for awhile now so. Who knows, maybe ps3 will end up selling more than 360 at the end of this gen.7CloudStrife7

Why? 360 has a biggerr, more diverse library. Most people try to avoid EA as much as possible...

This is self evident since owning 360 means you have wiser buying habits. :P

Yup E.A. loves the PS3/Wii owners for choosing a bunch of what they sell.

that's...pretty astonishing actually....I mean doesn't 360 usually sell like twice the PS3?

nah that ariticle it bogus.

Hey everybody, look at me I'm so desperate for good news that I'm going to take a break from making EA hate threads and talk about how happy I am that EA made some money on PS3 games!!!!

Lol, you guys are a hoot.

What's next for the PS3 hardcore not calling Ubisoft a "lazy dev" and prasing Gabe and Valve the very second that they announce the possiblity that they may break down and make a PS3 title????
