Peter Moore on expanding EA Sports outside the video game industry |
Ó
When Peter Moore signed up to take the helm of EA Sports several months ago, there was a lot of work to be done for the former Microsoft consultant. He was very much up to the task with all the new changes he's implemented over the past few months to recover the slowly declining sales of the Electronics Arts sports games division.A big focus of these changes seem to rely on making EA Sports a visible brand name that everyone can follow. Recently, Moore solidified the license which will continue the EA Sports brand for the NFL video game franchise.
He also struck a partnership with IMG Worldwide Inc., which will focus on exploring the possibility of putting the EA Sports brand on a variety of consumer products and services, from soccer balls to even a children's tennis camp. IMG Worldwide Inc. is well known for its representing top athlete's like Tiger Woods and has ties with both the sports management and entertainment industry.
Another top priority that he mentioned was the more casual line up of sports games the company will soon offer. Titles like FaceBreaker (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) fit into this category perfectly, with its cartoonish animation and the Wii version's simple yet intuitive controls.
Moore was also apparently looking into the possibility of expanding the EA Sports brand outside of the video game industry and making it an outright sports brand, much like what ESPN did with its own brand of restaurants and a magazine bearing its logo.

Comments [refresh]
I'm not even going to comment on the article. I despise Peter Moore. I wish Gonorrhea and syphilis on him.
hes a shrewd and tactical buisness man,
i respect that.
i dont respect the idiots that keep buying madden and giving EA their cash for a rehashed game, but it is EA's right to keep pushing REHASHadden out as long as idiots keep buying the game.
I couldn't have said it better especially your first sentence.
My opinions of the XBOX, MS, and the MS gaming division do not change the fact that Peter Moore's leaving was, IMHO, a big loss to MS's gaming division.
