You could always make more EA!

Go go Gadget more streamlining and more restrictive DRM policies!

So they made some money off mass effect? Big Deal it's not like it was unexpected considering alot of stores reduced the price of the thing. I'm sure they are concerned about the 400k TOR subscribers they lost which would of brought them more money in the long run than ME3 sales.

Still have 1.3 million subscribers and TOR just launched in 38 more countries - which aren't included in this report. Still has better subscriber retention that most other MMOs. I'm sure they'll be fine.

EA should thank Bioware for this.

A loss is still a loss and considering the monthly rate + 400k subscribers it's ALOT of money and they will feel it.

What people are forgetting is it wasn't ME3 that saved EA - it was Modern Warfare 3.  If that hasn't come out when it did (Christmas), you can bet your bottom dollar they wouldn't be where they are now.

Last I checked Modern Warfare wasn't in EA's portfolio. Or have I missed your point?

Didn't TOR JUST lose 400k subs?

Not to mention that MW3 sucked just another victim of activision's rush programme.

Expect future Bioware titles to adopt ME3's marketing strategy of vague promises and intentionally obfuscated non-answers as a means of generating hype.

Launched in 38 countries that aren't included on this report is still a launched in 38 countries that aren't included on this report. Is losing 400k subscriptions not good? Of course. But by comparison, WoW has lost something like 2 million since their last expansion launched. It's going to take more than that to kill BioWare, so you'll just have to keep trying.

Like im suprised by this news.

I already knew that ME3 would sell bazillions before it would come out, and look. IT DID!

You don't.... you don't read anything anyone says, do you? 

[MegaSovereign]

If the game was so **** that it doesn't even deserve your purchase then half of you shouldn't even be here.

Just saying. Not to mention support forums for any game usually portrays said game in the worst light.

Yes but according to him they still have 1.3 million so who cares right? Losing 400k subscribers is a horrendous loss no matter how you try to spin it. I'm not the best when it comes to math but the monthly fee is about £8 and x that by 400,000 it comes to about 3.2 million so with 400k gone they lost an additional 3.2 million a month which could of been spent on developement.

That is a very bad thing and a loss is still a loss.

Over 200 million?

That means over 3 million copies were sold.

How many were returned?  It did even go 1/2 price so they coulda made more.

Who said anything about killing bioware? It's nice to see you continue to put words into people's mouths and continue to so vigoriously defend bioware at any and all opportunities. Now go back and read my post i stated that 400k is a loss which it is and as for WoW yes they've suffered losses more recently a 100k subscriber loss and like here i stated it was still a loss.

No, please learn to read what I actually say and not what you think I said in order to push your own agenda, thanks. 

400k is a loss, but it's not nearly as bad as you're trying to make it out to be. The game will be profitable at 500k subscribers. They currently have over twice that number. They also JUST launched in 38 new countries - which is not reflected in this report, which will easily make up that 400k number and then some. TOR is not sinking, it is not dying, no matter how hard you wish it to be true.

Im not entirely good with numbers (I kinda go blind when I see as many numbers as was in that link lol) but wouldnt some of that 200m be stuff like BF3 and other EA games and not just ME3?

Thread title.

[SeismicGravy]

My mistake - I got it mixed up with Battlefield 3, which came out in October.

Meh, I'm tired.

The numbers may go up, but if they go back down at the rate they did here that's bad news.
