Parallels between Dead Space 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda

Ah. So you'll admit you'll lie about it. Good for you. As for the carry over it was for the Premium Edition which didn't even include the game. They didn't have inventory to meet the demand so orders filled after the end of the FY are claimed in the next fiscal quarter.

That's...beyond old school, man. That shit's older than me.

Some films are ageless.

Yep, they give them Starwars to work on.

Actually...
"EA didn’t actually mention Mass Effect: Andromeda in its earnings release, even though this was the publisher’s only major game that came out during the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31. But Wilson answered a question related to the reviews during the analyst call."

We provided you with a link to the prepared statements during the investor call, twice, which are made prior to the Q&A. I mean, believe VentureBeat over the EA fiscal reports if you want but that just makes you look silly.

The prepared statements you linked me are different from EA's earnings release, I thought you knew that.  Mass Effect isn't mentioned in the earnings release - so no, I didn't lie, and no, I'm not the one that looks silly.

But wait, it gets better.  Guess which game WAS priminantly mentioned in bold font for EA's May 2012 earnings release?

Or he just forgot that in their own report digital sales make up 61% of their net profit. The 33% figure, again, is console downloads, which makes sense, really. Consoles as of yet do not have hard drives comparable in size to the average PC. 

Total net sales for the year were $4.9 billion, a record. Digital net sales accounted for 61% of this, up 6 percentage points year-on-year.

Full game download added $192 million in net sales for the quarter, up 43% year-on-year. For fiscal 2017, for the current generation of consoles, full game downloads accounted for 33% of unit sales to consumers, considerably ahead of the 29% we have forecast and 9 percentage points up year-on-year.

I'm running high on Pepsi and nachos.

Before any questions are taken in the Earnings Call, Mass Effect Andromeda is mentioned by Blake J. Jorgensen, Electronic Arts Inc. - CFO and EVP. 

Focusing on Q1, we're expecting GAAP net revenue of $1.425 billion, GAAP cost of revenue of $157 million and GAAP EPS of $1.93. We expect Q1 net sales to be $750 million, up 10% year-on-year driven by Mass Effect: Andromeda, Battlefield 1 and Ultimate Team.

The speculation on this issue is starting to get tedious.

We know (thanks to ea) that the game sold well. And they have the actual numbers to know if the game sold well or not. Those are the facts on the ground. Now based on this fact we can.assume three things.

1. That they are lying.

2. They are being 'vague'

3. They are telling the truth.

I choose to believe the latter...the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. And until there is a smoking gun contradicting this info it seems the most likely outcome.

those words? Not exactly. But i bet had it not sold (and was reviewed) well EAs word choice in the earnings call would be veeeerrreyyyy different.
