    this fluctuates so i would take it like the market should be taken in stride there previous reports they stated PS3 generated more revenue on there titles..this effect is quite common. Id say, this is nothing special but hope there revenue keeps them out the red enough and into making quality exlcusive ips. Not just a horde of lower quality multi plats...i know the money is in multiplats, but jesus it would be nice to see a benchmark ip from EA instead of always striving for parity.

    i just hope they stay in the black.

    I find it funny, that despite all the aquicisitons and take ovesr they have done in the past 6 years, they have run most of them into the ground (westwood etc).

    Its taken companies like DICE, Bioware and partnerships with companies like Valve to truely turn things around for them.

    I just hope they realise the folly of thier mistakes and leaving these companies alone to do what they do best. And NOT try and milk franchises.

    One has to wonder what the hell Criterion have been up to since Burnout Paradise though.

    I think that'll come at E3. It'll need some serious changes to do well though.

    I just threw that out, but it did hit over a million.

    I also want a sequel to see those changes.

    It also hit the bargain bin very quickly. The problem with ME was that they couldn't continually tease aspects of it like you can a Halo or Uncharted. What we saw was basically what we got.

    I don't think the one Criterion is working on is coming out this year. You have heard differently?

    Makes you wonder if L4D and Mass Effect 2 were multi-platform, they'd have made even more.

    Well, I could only imagine it is one of them, 3 titles in 12 months is bit steep even if one is PC only, the other 2 will be hitting Xmas and the 1st 1/4 next year.

    Well it was certainly considered something special in the PS3 section when EA was saying that the PS3 was generating more revenue. Now that the 360 is said to be generating more revenue suddenly the "market should be taken in stride" and now its "nothing special." Funny how that works.

    EA seems to be the death of many companies series, what they need is a new model for quality rather then quantity

    Ok, wtf happened to Mass Effect 2 selling 2 million copies? Maybe it was shipped...i can't quite remember at the moment.

    I thought that 2 million sales discussion was a combo of the PC and 360 builds? Am I misinformed?
