MASDAQThe moment Sony announced the PS3 launch delay in PAL Territories, we knew that it would have serious repercussions. First was the disappointment felt among the waiting fans. Then there was also the dipped in shares for leading publishing companies. What we didn't quite saw was the support Sony would be getting.

Electronic Arts was very quick to get up to its feet and stand behind the company.The following statement was also issued by the world's largest videogame publisher: “EA will have a great portfolio of games ready when the console arrives in Europe, and we’re looking forward to bringing our PS3 line up to gamers in the region this March.”

On the NASDAQ, EA fell $1.19 in shares to $50.69. Other publishers suffered the same as Activision fell 20 cents to $12.81, THQ with a dip of 35 cents to $25.79 and Take-Two registered loss of 14 cents to $ 11.46.

EA has a number of titles for Sony's next-gen console due for release this coming winter.

EA better back up SONY coz they made a lot of money releasing the Madden Series in the Playstation consoles than PC and XBOX :D



Remember when they released Madden game during the PS2 launched in 2000? Madden is #1 base on sales for many weeks here in the US. And i believe history will repeat this year once the PS3 comes out.

Sony seems to have a great impact on the industry if their delay can cause developer stock to dip. I would imagine EA would like to remain friends with them.
