EA boasts more monopolization of your wallet

The starship enterprise flagship franchises of Electronic Arts carried the brunt of the profits for EA this past quarter, up 13% from $365 to $413 million. Need For Speed: Most Wanted, FIFA World Cup, Sims 2, Fight Night Round 3, and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat were to blame thank. Even so, at the end of the day, EA still came out at an overall loss of $81 million. Why? Transitioning to new consoles.

EA expects larger profit margins next quarter. While EA is the largest developer for the XBox 360 (and the universe in general), they also claim to have strong support for the launch of the PS3, which is great, but we'd like to see more than ports of this year's sports titles. Surely they are working on something original and new, right? They've done it before. Again, it's been stressed so much, but, the Tokyo Game Show, guys! Here's to hyping it up!
