1 - World of Warcraft (what they call "mmorpgs"): $324M
2 - Xbox 360: $231M
3 - PS3: $152M (therefore more on a per console basis in the US I imagine, Kotick must be salivating at the idea of a PS3 at $299 imo)
4 - Wii: $118M
5 - DS: $48M
6 - PS2: $44M
7 - PC& others: $41M
8 - PSP: $17M


/Golfclap sir and your "Sony must drop the price of the PS3 or we'll drop them".


On the side, and shockingly (kinda), the Ps3 brought in more profit for EA than the 360 last quarter.

Ben Parfitt at MCV reports that EA's recent fiscal quarter brought greater profits on the PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii than on the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 earned $73 million dollars for EA, while sales on the PS3 pulled in $121 million dollars for the same quarter. EA Sports Active was responsible for much of the $161 million dollars generated on the Wii, with the handhelds netting $38 and $28 million dollars for the PSP and DS, respectively. The PC also saw an increase in sales due to The Sims 3, bringing in $124 million for the quarter.

Tyler says: While the Wii and PC sales jumps aren't surprising, the PSP and PS3 sales are. It could be that EA did so well on the PSP and PS3 because Sony is the brand most associated with sports gaming: Fight Night Round 4, Tiger Woods 10, and NCAA 10 are all recent releases. With such good results, though, maybe EA Sports executive Peter Moore will tattoo the PS3 logo on his arm next.

Then some will still be surprised that the president of EA wants to associates EA sport and the PS3 even more closely
