I was thinking about this just last night upon going to bed. With the immense popularity and growth EA has seen in the past couple of years I wonder if they might ever enter the console race at somepoint in the future. EA is becoming a huge cash cow if anything and it would be really interesting to see a souley games producing company bring out a console. Im not saying we will ever see this but I sure wouldnt be surprised. I dont know though, what do the rest of you think?
-
I doubt it.. bringing out a console requires A LOT of money. I don\'t see EA having enough to secure themselves a console that would have a chance surviving...
Just look at Microsoft and how much it\'s costing them....
-
Well I was thinking more of a long term stretch. If they continue at this rate then yea, maybe they could have enough money. Now, it would be a big risk to take but it sure would be interesting. Just imagine EA pulling the plug on Sony, M$, and Nintendo not allowing any more of thier games to go to either. Thats something you wouldnt expect to see.

You do know that EA was founded by TRip Hawkins, the same man who brought us the 3DO, right?
;)

i doubt it, plus to be honest im growing tired of ea... there no think games, they kinda dumb down lots of there games.... fifa sucks, the last james bond did, i like the original moh more......phhhfffffffffffwwwwwwwww, do not like ea ne more
ssxtricky was just crap, if u ahd the first one
-
They are mostly doing sequels of old games now.We are getting tired of them.Just as we are getting tired of many not so bettered sequels from other developers.

Each FF is a unique game that shares only RPG characteristics
-
Yep. FF is only a sequel by name (except maybe FFX - 2).
With EA it\'s a new footie,soccer,basketball,baseball,screwball game EVERY year.
Does anyone need a new football game EVERY year with MINOR variation in gameplay and maybe no improvement in the graphics at all(even if it does, so what?? It\'s still the(almost) same game!) ???
EA with a console?? They die faster than SEGA.

Sega lasted well over a decade... ;)
-
Way more than a decade...
Sega was around LONG before Nintendo and Atari...
They just weren\'t always known as Sega...

You are right.Actually I AM getting sick of them.They are coming way to often without any major improvements.

Are you joking? FFX was nothing like 9 or any of the FF\'s before it. You could say thd same about ALL RPG\'s. That would be insanity. And I can assure you. FFX - 2 will be nothing like what we have seen from Square before. Also, think about Kingdom hearts. No simularities whatsoever to previous FF games. I know its not a FF game, but it has a tone of characters from it. The way I see it, everytime Square comes out with something new, it has many improvements from previous releases

It terms of gameplay I didnt see anthing remarkably different in FFX compared to previous.
Lets leave FFX-2 out of this as I am talking about the traditional FFs although I am not very excited about this one either.It is not a totally fresh idea.It shares everything with FFX except of the way it plays(worlds,characters,continuation of FFX\'s story,enemies etc).Perhaps its the idea of having Yuna doing action stuff I dont like.
Also lets leave Kingdom Hearts out as it is not a FF game.

OK, I can see the likeness of FF\'s released on the PS1. but that\'s what people liked. But take FF11 for example. This is an online game. Nothing like any previous FF\'s for sure. And as far as EA releasing new sports games every year; For sprots fanatics, thats expected. New team players, new statistics. Not to mention the fact that Madden 2003 is online. Have you seen the forum for madden? A very large protion of the gaming comunity love the hell out of some Madden.

I havent playied FF11.But from what I ve read so far there is nothing remarkably special from it either.Its not even a FF game.It only shares the name.It sounds more like Square\'s effort to compete PSO.
You are right about EA\'s sports games.They arent stupid to stop producing them,let other developers own the officail rights and lose the huge sports fan gamers who are buying their games.They have no other choice anyways than make them every year.
For their sports games its a path they cant ignore.
But thats not the point.And ts not just sports.NFS and MOH are games having sequels too often without major improvements.(I hope this wont happen with SSX.)
The point is : they arent producing any fresh ideas.Wheather there is a good reason or not.
