ā[EA]ās āFewer, Bigger, Betterā strategy for its key packaged goods releases will not work if the games are, in fact, not āBetter.'ā -Analyst Michael Pachter lamenting the oddly low quality and poor sales of Medal of Honor: Warfighter and praising the delay of Fuse. (āPackaged goodsā are games sold in stores, not the ever-growing number of ones EAās selling just to phones are running on Facebook.)
EA does make some clunkers. But itās not all bad. Not by a long shot. EAās FIFA is considered top-shelf. NHLās a winner. Need for Speed: Most Wanted was amazing. Dead Space 3 (pictured above), Sim City, Dragon Age III and Battlefield 4 better be.
You can do it, EA! Right?
