I was reading the game informer and there was an article saying that ea says if the ps3 does not pick up in sales by 2010 they would come out with there own console . Your thoughts.

Their games better be the best ever and 100% bug free.

A system with a MSRP of 149 and probably digital download wouldnt be bad. But games shouldnt be over 39 IMO

A piece of garbage that gets worse every year? Yeah, sounds great.

Probably an April Fools joke, considering it's in the April issue...

Either way, it will be a joke.

EA is just consolidating their 3rd party power. Why burden themselves with what MS and Sony go through with hardware manufacturing? EA makes money by putting out games on every platform possible.

The only way they do this is if they partner up with someone to do the hardware to put out a powerful console, but sell it for cheap as hell. It would get people to buy it for their games, which would be exclusive. It would take balls to do, and only Nintendo has really been able to strong arm the industry like this before.

They won't do this as long as MS and Sony are in the market... just doesn't make sense.

I wouldn't laugh this off....look at what EA is doing with all these smaller companies that they have swallowed up. All it takes for them now is to get Take Two and their line-up of titles and I bet they do come up with their own console. Look at how many IP's they would have that no other console like the PS3 or 360 would have. Think how many consoles Madden would sell, or GTAV to name just two titles. I wouldn't put this past EA in anyway......they want global domination and what they are doing here is that they will corner North America and Europe (if they can get their grubby hands on Ubisoft).

At this point, all is left Japan which they can't touch, unless they start buying up companies over there.
