Genau wie Ubisoft verdient auch EA seine Brötchen mit der PS3. Wenn sie jetzt eine Milliarde Verlust haben zeigt das nur das Wiiler mal wieder keine Spiele gekauft haben. So langsam sollten doch alle Publisher gemerkt haben das man mit der Wii nur Verluste macht. Da kann man nur hoffen das der kleine Kummerkasten in Zukunft ignoriert wird, sonst zerstört er wirklich noch den Gamingmarkt.
Das stimmt nicht.
Die Entwicklung ist bedeutend teurer und die PS3 Spiele werden teurer verkauft , auch gegenüber den 360 Games.
