Ah, ok, just a rumor.

Interesting to discuss rumors.

The article had a lot of hearsay in it.

Interesting to see if anything plays out of this.

HH Baseball makes a return?

Any chance of them only producing games for Xbox if they do this?

why would they do that and cut out half their customer base. Would not make sense to me. Is making madden, nba live just on xbox really gonna drive xbox sales? I dont think it will do that much for em . But hey , here is to them if they do . I wont be buying it .

I would think a Microsoft-owned EA would go Xbox exclusive.

Edit: How many people bought a PS4 just for The Show? Madden is bigger and more popular than The Show. It would be huge for Xbox to essentially own football gaming.

i just dont see it personally.You would be alienating a large number of customers. Ones that used to get the same game on different console. Not just the sport games, but Battlefield, just on xbox.... Just dont make good business sense to me . Your talking about taking long standing games , with well established player bases, and then saying you all must buy an xbox to play now? Sure some will , but your gonna lose out on a large customer base by pissing them off doing that too.

I had a 360 that ended up dying so instead of buying a new 360 I bought a ps3 because of the show. I wouldn't ditch a working system for just one game
