Welcome to NSR Watch

Finally a home for me and others to rant and rave about the two biggest pieces of shit in video game history none other then: ea sports ceo (Larry Probt), and ea game producer (James 'KY' Hawkins).
Look forward to many interesting articles as we document the past and future of these dickheads as they screw over the public with there so called "flawless sim to date"
Welcome and enjoy the ride (or roast).

STOP THE PRESS!!! EA Fears Only 3.3 Billion profits in 2005 Instead of 3.41 Billion

msnbc SAN JOSE, Calif. - Electronic Arts Inc. swung to a loss in its fiscal first quarter as the world’s largest video-game maker was pressured by increased competition that caused revenue to shrink 16 percent. In its report Tuesday, the company also lowered its full-year sales and profit outlook after announcing that it would delay the release of a highly anticipated game based on the 1970s-era “The Godfather” films. For the three months ended June 30, Electronic Arts lost $58 million, or 19 cents per share, down from a profit of $24 million, or 8 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding charges such as amortization, employee stock-based compensation and restructuring, the Redwood City, Calif.-based company lost $55 million compared to net income of $25 million for the year-ago quarter.

Much of why the company lowered expectations was blamed on the delay of the company’s “Godfather” game, which is expected to be a top seller, analysts say. Two weeks ago, Electronic Arts said it would begin shipping “The Godfather” in the fourth quarter instead of the third.

Marlon Brando dun it!!..you gotta be kidding me a measly 100 millon out of 3.4 billion and these assholes are acting like it black tuesday! give me a break. Funny the excuses these dicks can come up with. I would venture to guess the "exclusives" are finally starting come back to haunt them. Sure hang your problems on a movie from the 70's I can see the reasoning(sarcasm). EA reminds me of that popular lawn game from the 70's lawn jarts...you remember the game. Only difference is they have reached there maxium hang time and that suckers falling back to earth fast....remember how everyone would run when a lawn jart was launched in the air in there general direction?...same advice I'd give to EA stock holders.

ut oh I hope I didn't light a light bulb in Larry Probts fat head. Could it be he will pursue a "lawn jart" exclusive next?
