Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - NHL 15 Leaves Fans Disappointed Again with Overhyped 'New Era' Announcement

According to vgchartz,com, as of 11/22/14 NHL 15 has sold 590,000 copies worldwide on the 4 platforms combined. NHL 14 sold 880,000 copies on 2 platforms. NHL 13 sold 1.2 million copies on 2 platforms. In 2 years, sales have been cut in half. Good for us for telling EA in the most direct way possible that this series has gone to ****. For comparison, Fifa 15 has sold 10.02 million copies, just on the 4 platforms NHL 15 was released on. Clearly, EA will prioritize FIFA over NHL. My question is, with the downward trend in sales, what is the breaking point? At what point does EA say it is not profitable to make this game anymore?
