EA is funny. People bought less games because the console is expensive. And when you have the choice of either getting superb quality titles like RR7 and Resistance, you don't need subpar ports from EA.

Call of Duty is Activision, not EA.

Woops, publisher aside, still true, although not relevant to the thread now.

I guess it all goes by how folks like to spin.

HOT NEWS: Sony exec farts. Possible PS3 price cut?

Spoiler

Can we please stop with these threads every other day?

News flash, hardcore gamers don't want crappy, half ass ported games worse than the original counterpart on their systems. EA didn't get the memo I guess.

And that's the ****ing truth. EA has no one to blame but themselves. EA as a rule has sucked ass with next-generation stuff, particularly on PS3, and they're "disappointed" with sales? They should be shocked it sold at all.

Won't the laws against product dumping prevent Sony from slashing the price to any significant degree. While the model for console sales has always been to sell below cost there has to be a limit on how far below before it becomes a trade issue.

Someone should send EA a mirror to their office... it'd clearly give them the answer to their problems with why people aren't buying their ports...

Strange. I did also.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Normally, that kind of argument would mean very little. But considering early adopters were most likely hardcore gamers, it actually might have be what happened.

You just know that teh interwbz are working on bad SONY news right now as we post. Tommorow will be back to doom and gloom again.
I await bad Wipeout 3 news, saying that the game will use slow MotorStorm engine, and won't be as fast as it should be.

You summed it up well. Especially when the buyers are hardcore early adopters . . . they are not going to buy up crappy EA ports. Especially when better/cheaper versions are available for the xbox 360.

You've just spent $600 on a console . . . are you then gonna buy $60 crappy ports? Hell no.
