Electronic Arts is starting to see parity between the Xbox 360 and PS3. Â They don’t look at it like you and I do though, they see it in terms of dollars. Â In the recent quarter ending December 31st, 2011 Electronic Arts made as much money selling PS3 software as it did selling Xbox 360.
Which is a stark comparison to the 2009 numbers. Â In 2009 Xbox 360 held a 28% piece of EA’s total revenue while PS3 held 19%. Â This significant move up may be partly attributable to the Wii’s numbers being down in 2010 for the company.
Are more people starting to purchase multiplatform titles on the PS3? Â By EA’s account it’s apparent that they are. Â 2011 is also a huge year for multiplatform titles from the publisher. Â Games like the EA Sports titles and their perennial sales feats, accompanied by Crysis 2, Bulletstorm, Mass Effect 3, and Shift 2 will likely be big sellers for the company.
Who will they sell more for? Â It looks like we’ll have to wait until next year to find out.
