That would be cool if they did and they would probaly do very well but I don't think anyone needs a fourth system right now.

It'll fail pretty badly, especially if it wants to make its own games for its system that is pretty ***....I mean even if I wanted to play EA games which I really don't because their games are worse and worse every year, I still wouldn't buy it just because EA's games are on it. So it will fail.

That would suck =\ a lot of good games from ea wouldn´t come to ps3/xbox and I sure wouldn´t buy the console. EA hasn´t made me to happy lately but if I couldn´t play any more ea games it would suck.

Considering most EA games suck, I'd pass and I'm sure the majority of the gaming community would pass as well. Flop it would.

I think it could be a successful console. I wouldn't buy it but you can't overlook the selling power of the EA sports franchises. And their other franchises have a following as well.

Its kind of funny, because if any company was going to compete against the big 3, EA is the only company that could. All they have to do it make all EA games exclusive to there console and they will put the other consoles out of business, so lets hope this doesn't happen.

It would be pretty interesting if they made one. If it meant all fo their games, including PC ones then I wouldn't be against it. Price would be a HUGE factor in this situation though. One benefit to this would be if they made a console for their games think how better their games would be since they could optimize them for a system (and make the system fit their games before they make them) they designed. I'd be open to them doing this if the price was right and the selection games was good.

 

I will say this though, if they ever decided to really do this they had better stop sitting on the Ultima franchise. They have a great RPG series they are just sitting on that they could bring back in full force.

Sometimes otherwise despicable things are called for. This is one of those times.

On-topic: I'm having enough trouble juggling the three already on the market, thanks. I don't want any major new competitiors.

if ea made their own console sony and ms would be dead. the sims, battlefield, madden, fifa, all on one console? nintendo is the only one that could survive without ea.

ea puts out about 50 games per year, they would easily kill off sony and ms.

EA cannot even produce quality games. They rush them out before they even go to beta.

The console would have hardware bugs from day one.

^ I think this is the most uneducated comment I've ever seen on System Wars.

Halo, GoW, Gears, FF, MGS4, Mass Effect, GTA, Assassin's Creed, UT3, BioShock, DMC, Tekken, Decent Racers, Oblivion and more >>> Sims, Battlefield, Madden, Fifa, NFS and Other Mediocre games.

2K would make the new NFL games and Madden would get put in it's place for leaving Microsonintendo.

If you were being sarcastic, I appologise.

You're comparing a group of 1st to 3rd party titles to a group of 1st party titles you realize that right?

If EA did make a console all of it's titles would go on it, the same way all of Nintendo's developed and published games go on their system. All third party titles would be up for grabs on any system. We'd be in a situation where to really be successful consoles would have to start having very strong 1st party games I believe. EA would be in a good position, so would Nintendo. In terms of 1st paty I don't think Sony and Microsoft have enough if it came down to that. With so many systems no one could automaticly assume 3rd party titles would go to any one of them if another system entered the game I think. I could be wrong about this though as it is pretty late.

No i wasn't being sarcastic. You call these games medicore but each and everyone of them sell MILLIONS of copies EACH YEAR.  I don't know how anyone can't see that I am right.

There's nothing in the survey this guy received that even hints at the possibility that EA would make a console.  His speculations are entirely the product of his imagination.

The survey asks a lot of questions about 'What features are important to you in a next-gen console', but that only means that EA wants to know which platforms purchasers of different EA games are likely to adopt.  If game A will sell better on system Q but game B will sell better on system Z, EA would like to know about it.

It would be the most casual friendly console ever and probably sell really well, I mean come on EA own and buy up nearly every licence on the planet and casuals don't care about quality just famous faces brands and names.

They own 20% of Ubisoft so and Take-Two if for sale, so if they pick both of them up they would be hard to beat. Grand Theft Auto, EA/2K Sports, Tom Clancy, Need For Speed ect.... They almost be untouchable.
