Why is EA so interested in what we want from a console? |
Ó
TheBBPS.com's Danny made a what-the-hell decision to answer an emailed Electronic Arts online survey that suddenly turned to what the hell. Why, he asks, is EA so, so interested in what you, who answer their survey, want in a next-generation console? Examples Danny posted include:- "Which of the following (qualities) were most important to you when you were considering to purchase a next generation gaming console/platform?"
- "How often do you play your next generation console in the following situations?"
- "How would you rate the following features and attributes on your Xbox 360 console/platform?" (we presume there were equivalents for the PS3 and Wii)
Laughable idea, indeed, but then I remembered seeing a similar rumor, though completely unverified, popping up somewhere in teh intarwebs some time ago (just can't remember the source, though...). Heck, EA has the money, right?
We'll agree with Danny's assessment that the likelihood of EA producing its own console ranks up there with a snowball's chance in hell, but even the mere mention of such a rumor - or even as an April Fool's joke - has frightening implications. The biggest game publishing company in the world producing its own console. The effects on economic competition are staggering.

Interesting indeed
I hate EA games because they are not for me. The soccer is alright but still not for me.
Look at Crysis. If EA would strive for more like that, they could be a top competitor if they made a console. Things like that just make me wonder though.
it would be genius if they tried it. atleast i would know what console to avoid. but it seems everyone loves EA so im sure it would be a success if they made one.
I'm not sure I'd see EA making there own console... but you got to admit that would be one killer 1st party!
Hopefully it's some exclusives and by the quality titles they pumped out on the Wii recently I'm sure they have alot of happy Wii owners filling out that survey ^^
