its an incredible move on EA part i bet u peter moore had somethin 2 do wit that

Kiss my ass EA and I'm also gonna say good buy to Madden, Live and all the games that come from EA. I'm gonna go w/ 2K for sports. To say that your priority is ONE console not consoles is just stupid. Just go a head and keep kissing MS's ass and you'll eventually lose a lot of fans that supporting you through out the years.

Don't turn this into EA makes games sh*tty for PS3 all this says is they want to work on the games to get them to that bigger base first.

Dam were Xbox fans that bitter in the 6th generation?.

2K tries to be even right #7?.

No way? I never thought this would happen.......actually i can give a sh** less about what ea does. Now that Peter Moore is their, did you really think this wouldnt happen??

basicly thats like slapping sony in the face, the biggest multiplatform dev is basicly saying micro is our first priority, but hey give them credit for being honest, they are basicly admitting what most multiplatform devs are in fact doing anyway= sony is falling behind in the minds of devs= if this continues micro will end up being a bigger winner this gen then anyone could have imagined= gamers go where the majority of dev support goes= its not majic most games are multiplat and if they keep turning out superior on the console that costs less= big trouble for sony= was bluray really worth what its costing sony, hey but dont worry the ps logo will carry sony right?=

JOy

i knew there was a hidden agenda why peter moore went there. now we are getting a clearer view of the whole picture. he didnt resign he was sent there as part of ms viral marketing and try to destroy ps3 and thats their masterplan but in doing so they have lost all their credibility and ultimately cutting their good ties with sony and nintendo which doesnt bode well with EA. that only proves that they are scared of the potential of ps3 to dominate the gaming community. its just a matter of time before ps3 rules again!!! with that i assure you!!!

No sh**, 360 has the biggest installbase, meaning that there's more profit to be made.

Alot of people commenting now on how crap E.A games are etc but at the end of the day, i bet E.A have sold the most games world wide, this is a massive coup for Microsoft.

EA can suck a whale di(k

I hope some one buys the NFL liscence from them that way they would lose madden. that would really put ea in a bind then. no madden? the streets would riot, but ea needs this slap in the face just like sony. what have they done to push next gen gaming? noufin is the answer.

Just don't expect the difference between PS3 and 360 versions of EA games to be Madden 08 size forever. Once EA gets a hang of the PS3, they will be able to make quality on PS3 faster even if they are making the 360 version their first priority.

If you're thinking Madden 08 forever, you're wrong. As long as the games play well on both consoles it's fine. EA developes nothing but casual games.

The reason EA games sell so much is because they make crap games on popular movie labels and release them across all platforms, and I mean all. Or they have Madden where they aren't selling the game but the NFL, and they release the game every year with new rosters.

Not all developers are doing this however, just look at Ubisoft and GRAW 2. There gonna start being able to developes games that look just as good or better than 360 and they won't have to delay.

So XBOX 360 fanboys just trying to bank off EA as a console pusher or something, but it's not.

For EA, it's all about the user base and profit margin. Why should EA be Sony's lapdog when PS3 does not have a large enough user base to deliver the profit margin at the moment?

EA is loyalty to one thing only: profit margin, and EA is not on Microsoft's or Sony's side. It's neither Microsoft's or Sony's lapdog. It's loyalty to profit -- and that's how a corporation and company should act, in the best interest of its shareholders.

If PS3 catches up and have a larger user base, then EA will jump over and make PS3 their priority for next-gen games.

For all I care, you can have EA as much as you want! ¬¬

But, it's not news anyway... EA just support larger install base, they made it with PS2 also. EA is all for the money (and for the system with more people, so the chances to find stupid people to sell then $hit is higher).

Anyone who makes money with multiplatform games should do the same. Currently 360 user base is bigger.
Even if I would have to wait PS3 version a bit longer, does not really matter. Used to it already. Waiting is the game.

Just don't expect the difference between PS3 and 360 versions of EA games to be Madden 08 size forever. Once EA gets a hang of the PS3, they will be able to make quality on PS3 in shorter time even if they are making the 360 version their first priority.

if they are true to their word that they want to give priority to the console that has the biggest install base then they should have chosen the wii. isn't it true that news from last week which stated that xbox is only leading by 20,000 which most probably by now its the other way around and the wii is now leading. in conclusion this is really ms viral marketing at work. to me they are not a big lost anyway. i never like them because they tend to get lazy making their games thats is why it doesn't look good as we want it to be.

EA Sports is garbage. I'm only looking forward to burnout Paradise which was developed on the PS3 rather than the 360. I can see that dirty smirk on Peter Moore's face right now. What an SOB.

medal of honor : frontlines ...

ok burnout too but it was just released by ea. so ive got no problem with that. ea games sucks. ea-sports ... lol owned by 2k. fifa? owned by PES!

ive got no problem with that :) its all up to developers.

With Madden 08 they had to release the game on like 10 platforms. PSP, XBOX 360, PS3, GameCube, XBOX, PS2, PC, Wii and more probably.

When games comes out that XBOX 360 and PS3 only, I don't see them making the 360 version their only priority.

Like Burnout is gonna be better on PS3.

i hope this brings an end to "Comparison videos" at least for the EA games. q:

business

if they are true to their word that they want to give priority to the console that has the biggest install base then they should have chosen the wii. isn't it true that news from last week which stated that xbox is only leading by 20,000 which most probably by now its the other way around and the wii is now leading. in conclusion this is really ms viral marketing at work. to me they are not a big lost anyway. i never like them because they tend to get lazy making their games that is why it doesn't look as good as we want it to be.

It's that cell chip Sony fans, it's good for Folding@home or guiding rockets but not for gaming. Whats realy f**ked up is accept for the ring of death, the 360 is untouchable by Sony and it's PS3. Because even with it's ROD it still delivers a better gaming experiance and the consumer has noticed that. With over 12 million 360s and over 10 million Wii's sold and only 5 million PS3s, it's not to hard to prioritize who get what games first.

I have never bought a EA game and never will

Confirmed, that it's not Sony's fault. PS3 will eventually be the lead platform once blu-ray takes over.

Playstation has many 3rd party developers which are prioritising their PS3 projects first.. Heck we even have developers that for no logical finantial reason are supporting the PS3 only. Take Konami for example... Kojima... squaresoft.... you may argue that it's because their games sell better in Japan. well.. EA games sell better in the US... so... why should EA be any different?

I think sony is getting some of what the XBox is being having to deal with.. or even HD DVD.

Blu-ray is being enjoying the extra studio support... well.. now HD DVD is getting some paramount love.

Playstation is being enjoying some extra 3rd party support... well now the xbox 360 is getting some love form EA and others...

It's only fair.. don't you think? Sony started this war... you can't get pissed with Microsoft drop a bomb in your camp from time to time. It's what the console war is all about... Sadly for Sony Microsoft is not Sega.... Microsoft has the money to bring the games and the assets to influence big companies like EA. Lucky for you Sony fanboys... You still get Madden and other games... It would be kind of interesting... if EA announce that they are going exclusive with the XBox 360... There it goes all chances of the PS3 at least in the US.
So, Sony can't take their lips off EA's but... they need EA. What they should do is do the same they did with Epic. They so that Epic was becoming dangerously too close to Microsoft with Gears and all... and they tried to improve their releationship with Epic with somewhat time exclusive UT... Go one Sony go kiss some EA @$$... go on...

peter moore must have convinced them.

I understand one console has to be the priority and the other consoles get ports. I also understand that the priority console should be the one that is going to sell the most copies. What I don't understand is turning out a considerably inferior game on other consoles. If Infinity Ward can make a game that is looking equally great on both consoles, why can't EA?

I laugh at the PS3/360 flamewar incited by this news because neither of those consoles will be getting EA's focus next year if the Wii continues to sell as well as it has been doing.

hehe

ps3 is my top priority and EA isn't the only one making games

They say it gets priority and yet they're games are still full of bugs.
I wonder if the 360 and PS3 will be getting Wii ports in a few months.
We'll see how truthful they are being then.

Yea, just business, but, what when the install base of ps3 is greater than that of 360? It will happen (ps3 4-5 mill in 9 months, 360 10,mill in 2 years). PS3 owners should then just not buy ea.

about Peter M. going over to EA,bigger things were in the plans.
I recall how many Sony droids disagreed with me about it being a big deal.
Ha,hate to say I told em so.I laughed then,and I'm laughing harder
now.
Dreamcast Sony Peter.........Do it quickly. Paybacks are long overdue.
Scrape off the PS3.
