Where has it been documented that Wii U is under "Other"? I'd like to see confirmation of this.
Interesting to see that PSP+PSV went up from $10mm to $12mm. Did EA really release more PSP/PSV software this quarter? Or an uptick in digital?
Well if you scroll down to the platform breakdown, it isn't listed anywhere.
I guess they could have bundled it into Wii without saying that explicitly?
QUARTERLY NET REVENUE
Platform Net Revenue
Xbox 360 292 204 277 379 256 (12 %)
PLAYSTATION 3 267 150 289 404 238 (11 %)
Wii 8 17 20 5 3 (63 %)
PlayStation 2 2 6 3 2 1 (50 %)
Total Consoles 569 377 589 790 498 (12 %)
Mobile 69 75 86 109 113 64 %
PlayStation Handhelds 10 14 15 20 12 20 %
Nintendo Handhelds 9 8 9 9 9 -
Total Mobile and Handhelds 88 97 110 138 134 52 %
PC 276 214 186 252 298 8 %
Other 22 23 37 29 19 (14 %)
Three things:
1) Nintendo Handhelds / PlayStation Handhelds are lumped together.
Naturally, that sets the same precedent for Wii and Wii U.
2) Wii U's Q4 2012 and Q1 2013 revenues (calendar year, not FY) don't match their corresponding Wii releases. The only explanation for their net revenue is if Wii U was lumped in.
3) Why would EA put Wii U in the "Other" section, since that would exclude Wii U from the "Total Consoles" category?
