DD Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 After quickly reading that article doesn't seem that EA lost 200 million, they PROFITED less than expect but still maintaining a profit. Quote
skdr Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Well basically they lost 200$ million because they couldnt get that money compared to last revenue etc. so yeah... Quote
ginsengavenger Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 if they spent money based on the prediction that they would earn that 200m then yeah they did lose money... considering all the shit they bought last year they were surely counting on it *cough* anyway thumbsup for sticking it to the man Quote
SonicDM Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 dont worry they will blame piracy instead of themselves. you watch. Quote
marque_pierre Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Posted March 24, 2005 What is loosing 200 millions? Well, because of this, their shareprice will drop, which means their credit rating will drop, which means it will be more expensive for them to finance daily operations or take overs. Their creditability towards outside partners such as the NFL will drop. Furthermore their own shares are one of the key things they use payment to take over other studios, which means that they will be in a worse position to do so. Boxes that were made but never sold, well they still have to be paid for, even more so than if so, since I can imagine EA have to suck up costs incurred for shipping them back from the retail points. So, yes this is money they were expecting on getting, but believe me, they lost this money, and they felt it. Quote

Yup, read an article some where that in after-hour trading their stock went down. EA just won't get it and hopefully that will be their down fall. Quote
