  • EA Shows Strong Gains in Mobile and New Consoles as PC Sales Decline

    The latest financial report from EA was just released showcasing how the company is doing in their second quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. I won't get into the details but they do have some interesting highlights that you may be interested in.
    • Calendar year to date, EA continues to be the #1 publisher on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in the Western World, led by FIFA 15, NHL 15, Madden NFL 15, EA SPORTSTM UFC, Titanfall, Battlefield 4, and FIFA 14.
    • In fiscal Q2, EA's players logged more than 1.9 billion hours of gameplay on console and PC.
    • Monthly active users for EA's mobile titles averaged over 155 million in Q2.
    • EA's mobile sports games averaged more than 40 million monthly active users in Q2, up 250% year-over-year, driven by Madden NFL Mobile and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team™ Mobile.
    • To date, players have logged more than 89 million games of Madden NFL 15, up 48% year-over-year.
    • Battlefield Hardline will launch on March 17, 2015 in North America, and beginning on March 19, 2015 in Europe.

    In addition, net revenues for FIFA, Madden, and Hockey Ultimate Team went up 96% compared to the previous year at the same time. It's also interesting to note that when compared to the previous year, net revenues on the previous generation of consoles (excluding Wii and Wii U) were up 3%, while other consoles (presumably Wii) went down 45%. The PC side of things is also down 24% when compared to the second quarter of the 2014 fiscal year.
