The market share for consoles and console games is rapidly shrinking, and soon, whenever you mention videogames, it'll be Angry Birds and FarmVille that pop into people's heads, not Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
The only thing they can kill is my interest.
Just another doom and gloom article spouting the same nonsense.
Mobile gaming is here to stay, but it's its own thing- I'd even say it isn't directly competing with the console market.
You think just because people own iPhones they aren't going to buy home consoles? Please.
I get excited about a mobile game for about a day and half. Then I lose interest and it just sits on my phone. I have about a dozen games that I played for a bit and then never pick up again.
Those bigger, meatier 'triple A' console games are failing us too - instead of becoming deeper and more sophisticated, they're becoming automatic or 'cinematic', basically idiot-proof.
It doesn't really matter to me whether the game is on a phone or console, download or disc, I'll play it so long as it doesn't suck ...
