Hopefully EA will realie that the PS3 will do them a lot of good and make them money, and hopefully they will make themultiplatform games on PS3 as good if not better than the 360.
they had better start pulling their fingers out their ar5es then and start producing better games and use the PS3 as their lead console and stop bl00dy moaning about how difficult it is to develop for. EA! now you know which side your bread is buttered!!!
EA must be shock to see that the ps3 is giving them the all there sales. Maybe now they would put more effort into there games.
PlayStation's where the action is. They stroke our back, we'll stroke theirs just like the last two highly profitable generations.
psn id: gingo.... this is where EA should come out and say all future projects will be developed firstly on ps3 then moved over to 360 to optimise performance, such as burnout
This is good news.
nice. sounds like someone needs to lead their games on the ps3 more often.
Finally the Xbox can kiss it.
Orange Box is probably the culprit in a lot of those PS3 sales!
I bet it was the PS1 that put EA in such a huge position in the industry making them the biggest publisher, with the PS2 continueing the success for EA with the likes of PS2 versions having exclusive online play. Then they ditch us just because 360 came out first.
EA = Monopoly = primarely money consurned = bad games
to bad EA doesnt has any to show for it in appreciation
