I don't see how it could, it is used by a percentage of the smaller XB1 userbase

Fantastic service though, Sony is a lost cause but hopefully they make a similar PC model

Agree with all you said... it's just hard to see huge evidence of EA Access being either the Future of Gaming or the End of Gaming.

The EA Access threads are always full of so much FUD and hyperbole, when in fact it's a bit of a "who cares" at this point.

I think so. Didn't 100% understand that either.

Something about how this gen is tracking 51% higher in regards to install base when compared to the install base of the previous gen at the same time.

Best bet would be to wait for the transcript. There should be one on Seeking Alpha in a couple of hours.

I like how EA have to highlight On The House for Origin. If they sold Origin client games through Steam they could probably pick up even more people.

I'm part of the DLC problem...just bought $20 worth of coins for Madden Ultimate Team yesterday :/

Cheers Nirolak.

27m is a bit low compared to Ubisoft (28m+) and IDG/AMD (29m+) estimate.

I wonder what numbers EA are using.

It also means they put PS4 at 18.5m and X1 at 8.5m which is very low considering we know USA+UK+GER+FRA+T1(2013) = 8.6m on its own by end of 2014

EA says that 80 percent of Battlefield Hardline copies were sold for Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

Hopefully this will slow down cross-gen games.

So was Hardline a success relative to other instalments? Random facts like minutes played tells me nothing -_-

That's the point.

Yes: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1041340

I should note they only expected 1/3rd of a mainline game though.

Good, success secures more DA entries.
