They still pretty much do, its the UK where the sales of the two across Europe even out (though PS3 is 2m+ in Europe overall).Quote:

Surely. That's not something that would be obvious.Quote:

I'm not digging for numbers you can do that yourself. It's well known that its ahead in Europe, hence football games and whatnot sell more on PS3, it's not just ahead in Asia. The only places 360 dominates is English speaking territories.Quote:

The fact is, EA is making a lot of money on all platforms(Over 800 Million in just 3 months, damn!). Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC are very important to them no matter how much more one platform is pulling compared to the rest.
It starts now. PS3 is not making a profit, brining out a new console will not solve everything. Plus they are still focusing on silly hand held devices that are not boosting revenue, and we all know that Sony brings a new one of these stupid devices out each year.Quote:

PS3 has been profiting since 2010, dunno where you got that.
So. Yeah... X360 making more money for EA than PS3. Interesting eh?
Also interesting how the PC makes more money for EA than PS3. Don't you think?
:)
lol wouldn't bother me if EA pulled the plug on PS3 completely.
Yep, apparently PC gaming is alive and well. Of course I never had any doubts that it was.Quote:

Agreed. And EA is still making good money on the PS3. So EA support will continue as always and thats what counts.Quote:

Hell 276 million just on the ps3 platform not bad!
Oh..... gotcha, but I still stand by what I said. EA published games are very important to all platforms.Quote:

I haven't read any of this thread at all -- but has anyone actually taken into account the fact that Origin has grown extensively over the past year and that PC Gamers now pay EA directly without any middlemen for a lot of its PC products?
That's a really good point. I haven't even taken that into account.Quote:
