1.5 billion dollars sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? That’s how much EA made this year. But they announced they made 33 million in the 3rd quarter of this fiscal year. Sounds good right? Until you compare it with the 160 million they made last year. That’s quite a drop off.

Well that really does not effect us as gamers, unless of course you happen to have EA stock. What does effect gamers is the decision to delay Mercenaries 2 and Battlefield : Bad Company.

“We’ve made the decision to move Battlefield: Bad Company and Mercenaries 2 into fiscal 2009,” said John Riccitiello, CEO of Electronic Arts. “Both titles are looking great, and we believe with additional polish, we will build a better consumer experience and thereby maximize our economics.”

Another vague push back. Oh well hopefully it will make the games better. I do like the part about “the additional polish” they are gonna put on the game.
