EA says its first quarter financial results for its current fiscal year were its highest ever.

• Jedi Survivor is a "commercial success" with "millions of players". They also state players are spending more time in-game than did with Fallen Order
• The company’s net bookings for the quarter were $1.578 billion, up 21% compared to the same period in the previous financial year.
• According to EA, the main reason for the record-breaking period were the continuaing popularity of FIFA 23, and the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Net bookings cover the net amount of products and services sold digitally or sold-in physically, and includes not just game sales but other income including licensing fees, merchandise and in-game ads.

“FIFA Ultimate Team engaged tens of millions of fans and daily average users grew 15%,” CEO Andrew Wilson said during an earnings call. “FIFA Mobile attracted over 65 million new players in the quarter alone. FIFA Online produced double-digit growth across monthly, weekly and daily average users.”

FIFA 23’s Q1 net bookings were also a record for the history of the franchise, with CFO Stuart Canfield saying it

Did Dead Space shit the bed? Or does EA consider it a failure just because it didn't move 15 million units? Either way, they need to remake the sequel and then greenlight Dead Space 4. Chop chop.

Must be because of the dead space remake.

It would have been higher if they put the Mass Effect Trilogy on the Switch. Hell, even a straight port of the 360 games is better than nothing.

the reason being even playing games for 30+ years, and knowing hundreds of gamers, friends, family, etc. I've never met another person who has even played a Fifa game. I genuinely don't know who the fuck is buying them every year.

their sports games are basically casinos, exploiting whales and grooming children with addiction tendency year after year.

Basically a cigarette company's wet dream.
