This is 13% more than the company earned in the same quarter a year ago. The main sales driver was The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
For the third quarter of 2014, which ended for EA on December 31, 2013, the game earned $ 30 million. In total, since its release in 2012, the Simpsons has generated $130 million for EA.
In general, the last three months of last year can hardly be called successful. EA’s net losses were not $ 45 million dollars, as a year ago, but serious $ 308 million.
In part, they can be explained by the transition period – sales of games for new-generation consoles are not yet able to close the gap in declining sales of games for the outgoing generation.
