KnackChap Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Both PC and PS3 prove more profitable platforms than Xbox for EA in quarter ending June 30th Whilst it was the Wii, thanks to the success of EA Sports Active, that really shone for EA in its latest fiscal quarter, just as big a surprise is the fact that the publisher’s PS3 returns far outstripped those coming from Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Wii revenues lead the charge at $161m, up from $109m in the same quarter last year. Next up was PC, which courtesy of The Sims 3, bought in a considerable $124m. Next in line was PS3 with total revenues of $121m, markedly higher than Xbox 360, which generated $73m for EA. The PSP was also a surprise victor over DS with revenues of $38m compared to DS’ $28m. North America remained EA’s most lucrative territory, producing $343m of revenues. In comparison, Europe generated $258m with Asia at $43m. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/35278/PS3-outper...Xbox-360-for-EA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Wii The Most Lucrative Platform For EA Driven primarily by sales of EA Sports Active, the company’s bestselling Wii title to date, quarterly Wii revenues were up 48 per cent year-over-year. The company said that its Wii share hit a record 21 per cent in North America and was 13 per cent in Europe, thanks to the success of its exercise title, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis and Rock Band 2. Sales of The Sims 3, which was the bestselling title at retail in Europe and North America combined during the quarter, ensured that the company's PC platform returns outstripped those from PS3, Xbox 360 and handheld systems. EA's PC titles generated $124 million during the quarter, although that figure was down 18 per cent year-over-year. Interestingly, the publisher saw a far greater return on PS3 software than it did on Xbox 360 games. The platforms generated $121 million and $73 million, down 25 per cent and 46 per cent year-over-year respectively. PSP revenues topped those brought in by DS, as games for Sony’s platform raked in $38 million compared to $28 million from those for Nintendo’s handheld. North America once again accounted for the majority of the publisher’s revenues. The region produced $343 million of revenues, compared with $258 million from Europe and $43 million from Asia. For the first quarter of its financial year, EA reported an increase in losses and a decline in revenues, but the company still managed to beat analysts’ expectation. Revenues per platform: Wii - $161 million PC - $124 million PS3 - $121 million Xbox 360 - $73 million PSP - $38 million DS - $28 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
