Back in 2010 Electronic Arts’ chief Frank Gibeau said that single-player games are finished. Evidently they are not, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order a single-player title, has sold beyond expectations.
EA was modeling sales of six to eight million copies and now they are expecting sales to reach ten million during the current fiscal year ending on March 31st. Not bad for a single-player game, especially one with flaws.
In other news EA made a total of 993 million dollars from live services during the quarter ended December 31st and 2.835 billion from microtransactions for the twelve months as a whole. Most of the revenue comes from the Ultimate Team models for EA’s sports games such as FIFA, Madden and NHL.
During the earnings call EA re-confirmed its plans to launch a brand new Battlefield title for the next-generation, while the company has plans for additional releases as well. EA CEO Andrew Wilson said they will be ready to lead with some of their top titles.
You can look the numbers at the chart below.
Thanks Gamespot and GamesIndustry.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

They definitely will.
that was the worst part in game.
I was so pissed when she came back at the end after Vader tossed her into the fing lava. Stay dead, you bug-eyed freak.
How can you play the same f’cking sports games every f’cking year ? I’m seriously curious.
Stopping burning your mental capabilities on stuff like that….coz its sooo stupid, we will kill brain cells try to understand!
When a major upgrade in graphics/physics/etc. is offered, then it’s worth it.

To do that, you’d have to be able to read! 🙂
So, dagoatlovingstalker isn’t satisfied with merely following me into completely unrelated threads to down-vote my comments; he’s now making tribute videos to satiate his need for me.
You’re welcome, Billy.
thanks, i made it exclusively for you daddy.
Sales would not have been the same if they had chosen EGS!…
Show your data backing this up.
RDR2 has sold approximately twice copies @Steam than @ EGS… And the last had “1st month exclusive period”
Well, that is a different product and a different situation. Rockstar made money from the exclusivity, as would any exclusive, so there’s something to add to the calculations. Then it was widely known to be only a one-month exclusivity so people could wait. You’re probably right, it could’ve been less money for them if they went exclusive, but still very hypothetical conversation. Anyways, thanks for calm and rational demeanor.
well. well. well.
You ask someone to prove you wrong and then you make excuses.
“that is a different product and different situation”. How is the situation different, and how could they use the same product? It was never released on EGS. And its not a different product, its a 60$ AAA game. Its comparing apples to apples.
They would’ve sold even more if they didnt force their crappy launcher
Nice. Looks like stupidity is alive and well, showing no signs of slowing down. Well done, humanity.
Subhuman race of shame !
Glad this went so well. Game is amazing and since companies like EA understand this only by numbers, this gives them the green light to back off with the rest of their crap and start making singleplayer games again.
Chris Kuntouras, you are especially one with flaws. Boom.
What is your deal? (EGS supporter for one). I have clicked on 3 articles in a row all by Chris. You are praising him in one, then in this one and the other you are pointlessly bashing him. Stop trolling and get a life.
Great game. Hopefully this will affect future games development but probably not as no sp game can touch that 2.8 billion dollars figure.
Fckn wnkers paying for mtx. Well, what did I expect! As if the number of sensible people ever outnumbered the fckn rtarded wnkers!
Gamers are idiots.
Gamers are the worst of consumers. Like sheep in the slaughterhouse.
Story was good, only one thing it lacks is Limb Cuts. I know that’s disney and all, but even so.
Future is not bright
Wait till you hear about the preorder numbers.
Howdy ni**er! You’re quite obsessed with your muslim name ((XERXES)) every chimp you create in your weeb games shares it.
This character of yours truly looks like it was made by a hillbilly who f*cks his brothers, living on a farm in Virginia:

Not! You’re a goddamn c*on, son. The only white characters are your NPC party members. Its evident that you’re a proud african monkey in your games, but a scared little sh*t skinned b*tch irl.
Are you going to kill yourself? If not, you’re not depressed enough.
