It isn’t just Nintendo that has been sharing financial results and talking to investors today. Electronic Arts, or EA for short, has been doing the same. In fact, they had an earnings call earlier today. Of course, with the Switch 2 having been revealed a few weeks ago, third-party companies are starting to receive questions on what their plans are for the Switch 2.
EA is no different, with CEO Andrew Wilson being asked about the matter in the earnings call. In response, Wilson said that “Any time a new console comes into the marketplace, that’s of a benefit to us. It gives us the ability to access and acquire new players. Typically, we’ve had franchises perform very well on Nintendo platforms. Certainly, our expectation is that products like FC and Madden and others might find real energy on the platform, as they have done in the past. When you think about something like The Sims and the My Sims Cozy Bundle, which performed well ahead of our expectations – 50% of all players were new to EA – that represents a great opportunity for us. So again, [there is] nothing in our models at this juncture. But our expectation is that any time a great new console comes into the marketplace that gives us access to new players and new communities, that we have the IP that will benefit from that.”
Are we abbreviating Games now? What is FC?
It’s their new FIFA series. I think it’s Football Club.
Ironically it IS called FC with the year number next to it. 🤷♂️
Uh uh. Yeah sure, just dump your crappy fifa games and leave bro, no one cares
No thanks, don’t want those garbage games on Switch 2, I’ll take those “hentai” games over EA sports.
NHL please. I want hockey on a switch but a good Mario Hockey I would throw nhl in the trash forever.
Nope.
Some Mario Sports games are fine/great, but for me, a realistic hockey is always better than a Mario version.
NHL is long due for a Nintendo console (and PC). Do it EA!
Bring back the Street games plz.
Or at least give us a remaster of SSX Tricky
Yawn, someone wake me when they announce WWE2K25 for the Switch 2.
They have been making the same hypocritical speech for more than 10 years towards Nintendo without really supporting them…they keep their games soporific…they are lucky that Furukawa-san is not like Yamauchi-sama, they would never have been able to develop for a Nintendo console again.
I am really hoping Madden is in the April Direct. I want to play it in Switch, but more importantly it would be a sign that we’d get more 3rd party support this generation. I feel like Madden is the litmus test. If they bring Madden to Switch that would be a huge deal in my opinion, regardless of what you think about the game or EA.
This is the same idiot who though Dragon Age failed because of ‘lack of shared world experiences”
No bitch, it failed because you got rid of everything that made dragon age. The tone, the writing, the gameplay, all completely off from what came before. THATS your problem. Not fucking online BS.
bring NHL on switch 2 please
