EA rules next-gen sales, but still reviews big losses

Great information and bad for Digital Artistry following the discharge of its Q3 revenue results, lately acquired by Gamasutra. Thankfully next-gen revenue are healthy: the founder manages 35-percent of the application industry on new games consoles, making it the top next-gen founder in the Western. In total, next-gen application revenue gained the organization $24 million during the financial one fourth. The bad information is that current-gen revenue are down 25-percent, from $566 thousand to $425 million.

For the one fourth beginning in Oct 2013 and finishing on Dec 31, EA documented overall net failures of $308 million. Despite that, the organization continues to be positive, declaring that “increased working efficiencies” will lead to better earnings in the near future. The next-gen revenue are motivating as well, as the users list for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will continue to increase throughout 2014.

More excellent information for EA: PC and mobile revenue are up, both by 13-percent. Digital earnings are also up 27-percent in comparison to the same time last season.

EA currently has five next-gen console games on the market: Battleground 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, and Need for Speed: Competitors. EA also launched Peggle 2 as an Xbox One unique.

2014 guarantees to be a big season for the founder as well. Vegetation vs. Zombies: Garden Combat debuts on Feb 25, and the long awaited Titanfall produces on Goal 11. Several other well-known games are on the way as well, but no launch schedules have been exposed.
