EA says "1 of every 3 PS4 games sold is an EA game"

Electronic Arts provides one-fifth of the titles available for PS4, and leads in sales.

312 Comments

Peter Moore, the current chief operating officer of Electronic Arts, wrote over Twitter today that "1 of every 3 PS4 games sold is an EA game."

Of the 25 games currently available for PS4, five are from EA, including Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, and Need for Speed: Rivals.

Despite the apparent popularity of EA's lineup, users have recently criticized the online performance of many EA titles. While some problems are clearly outside the company's power to control, like the recent DDoS attack on Battlefield 4, it's unclear who is at fault for the other issues. A quickly deleted post on the Electronic Arts help site attributed the stability problems to Sony's firmware, but the post was later deleted with the statement that it was made in error.

There are like five games out for the ps4 and around a 1/3 are EA. If anything their sales should be higher than one in 3.

I mean as far as I know you have a couple of ubisoft games, couple of ea games, knack and killzone.

For those that have not purchased BF4 yet. DON"T yet. As far as I am concerned its still in Damn Beta. Played last night for about 1hr and was only able to finish one game because it kept crashing. Awesome game when it works. But it still needs a lot of work.

@spartanx169x It is. It truly is. If you think it's bad on PS4 or PS3, try playing it on PC where it was meant to be played - it's fucking atrocious. Same shit hit detect from BF3, absurd lag issues, and what's even better, there are massive server issues so EA has locked the tickets at 100% to maintain a controlled test environment.

Game is not fun at all with 100% tickets on any game mode.

Although, it has improved since last patch - I played about 5 hours yesterday and my game crashed once, only had one server crash.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I hate to brake it to you but there is nothing wrong with the hit detection, it is your aiming that is the problem. you have to compensate not only for their horizontal movements but also for vertical bullet drop. so in order to hit someone in the head who is running to the right, you have to aim a bit to the upper right of them so the aimers is actually not aiming at them but rather in front of them and above them so the bullet catches them when they run into it. pretty much everyone who hates battlefield all assume the controls are bad, but its actually just realistic and people don't understand how to aim properly after playing cod too much.

I don't see any value in those claims. Ok, maybe the numbers are true and honest. But so what? The console is fresh on the market and for sure that only a few games have come out. Therefore, the chance of a publisher taking a huge bite off of the market is enormous. Just you wait a few more months and let's see what those EA guys got to say. Honestly, I really hate these first class A-hole hypocrites. It almost feel like that they are saying the success of the PS4 is due to their efforts.

Notice he says 'games sold' and not 'played. You know - since a large chunk of their games won't play on a bricked PS4 lol.

It's sad when Sony's first party games can't claim this title.

Not that I'm dissing EA, but when Xbox One releases - I won't have any EA game in my roster.

Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, and Loco Cycle are on my shopping list. I just can't see myself paying full price for an EA game at launch - especially when it looks just like a last gen game.

The biggest & most anti-consumer publisher for the past decade is selling the most games..... shocker.


I stopped buying EA-titles after Sim City, and I think I've managed to avoid them pretty well, but unfortunately there logo is on Battlefield... I just tell myself I'm buying a DICE game but if I'm honest I know damn well its riddled with EA.

@MonocleOwl @Primeyuri @Sevenizz @Blank2k2 I tried to stop buying EA games when they decided after Battlefield 1942 that they should just rape peoples wallets. Well other than 2142, 1943, BC2, BF3, BF4, Dead space 1 - 3., two copies of Dante's Inferno....

But still!

I didn't want to buy BF3 or 4, I hate them. Dante and Dead Space I got for super cheap so they don't count.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Not really. A "real gamer" is someone who plays video games and enjoys them, at the most basic.

So a real gamer would just play games and quit bitching. Seven is right, but the problem is we shouldn't be setting anymore.

Except you aren't boycotting a company if you still buy their games.

"I'm boycotting EA! Except for that one game cause i like it, the others don't interest me."

If you're not buying what you don't like and buying what you do; how are you boycotting anyone? And what exactly are you losing?

@Zeeksie @Grenadeh Are you kidding? Are you from Mars? He used pre-school vocabulary, none of the words are spelled wrong. They may have been but if they were, he edited them and fixed any mistakes.

On top of that, EA Fangirls? That's completely fucking irrelevant. We're dogging on you because you can't even troll correclty. Considering your entire purpose on the article was to troll, you failed hardcore.

to be fair, there are really only like 10 good games readily available at launch for PS4. and 4 of them are EA games. so statistically it has more to do with that than EA being anything special

Provide the most launch titles and it's pretty likely you see the most sales. Not rocket science.

OR you could realize that EA shoved out a lot of multiplatform titles around the launch.

(And yet it makes no "business sense" for Titanfall to be on PS4. Love the EA logic today,)
