What IF EA makes a console of their own?

I know EA already stated they won't because they don't want put too much financial burden on gamers, but I just saying hypothetically if EA does make a console of their own, would you buy it?

Future games like Battlefield 3, Mirror's Edge 2, Dead Space 2, Command and Conquer 4, Rock Band 3, Skate 3, Need for Speed, Army of Two 2, Mass Effect 2 can only be played on EA console, would you buy it?

As for me, I will, but I HOPE not.

well Dice is my fav dev, and BF2 is my fav game... so i dunno... i like BF3 on PC...

note: WTF with all these "what if" threads lately?

With the amount of haters EA has...It would crash and burn.rogerjak

yeah but i think the huge amount of madden/fifa/any other sport would probably outweigh them 3/4 - 1

My question is,

Would you BUY it?

I don't know

You'll have to put me in that position first:P

If EA makes a console then EA fanboys who will be called 'electrolysis' will arise and begin defending their console.

I don't think that would ever happen. They'd probably make more profit from continuing to make multi-platform games than making and selling their own console and making all of their games exclusive.

oooo a poser.

there would definatley be a shift in power in the console market. all those 3rd party EA games and future games would be gone from the other consoles. it may seem like a good thing here but EA are a very rich and very lare company for a reason...they sell a crap load of games.

also remember that theres nothing stopping EA from getting 3rd party support from other publishers also so alot of big hitters like a future elder scrolls could also pop up on EAs console (assuming they dont just buy the publisher/developer :P).

in the end the console would have a very formidable first party lineup and possibly a very robust 3rd party also.

i dont think itll happen mind, what EA do now works very nicely for them. theres no need to start faffing about with hardware development and production.

but it would be very interesting if it did happen.

It will break like the 360, be overpriced like the PS3 and have crappy titles like the Wii.

Simple.

I think that if they do, we will see a console go away. Considering who is really the lacking in the console wars, i think the xbox will go away. They dont many exclusives, most of the devs they had have left or cut deals to make for other consoles. Nintendo has too many of their own IP's. PS3 is would be my second guess, but i think with all the problems xbox's have, they would become dreamcast.

aside from that, i hope EA doesnt make one, they are one of the companies that are turning video games into bland pop culture. And before anyone says anything, Nintendo is not doing this with the Wii. Aside from letting all the 3rd party shovelware be on thier console. But Nintendo's 1st party IP's are great, and over the next 2-3 years, we will see more of the games we want, Zelda, Mario, Metriod, Starfox, DK, etc... Alteaset they dont make a new game every year(guitar hero, COD, etc...)

I really hope not

I'd hate for all those great games to be exclusive to a certain console :(
