The thing about sales figures is they're facts, not opinions. Finding Nintendo "more credible" than EA is an opinion that doesn't change the fact that Nintendo's platform isn't selling very well.
Furthermore, you seem to be conflating two different topics. I'm not a fan of EA's DRM schemes any more than you are, but that's just not relevant in this discussion.

- Natsu 13y agoI'm not disputing whether or not their business is doing well, just whether or not I think they will go out of business anytime soon, which is what "walking dead" means to me. To that effect, I have pointed out that they have a long history, have "died" several times, and have proven resilient even when various people imagine them "dead" or anything like that. It appears that EA is looking only at quarterly revenue and not taking anything else into account. It's exactly what I would expect of them. It's one of the many reasons I mistrust them. People play games to have fun. Dealing with assholes is not fun. If I played EA games, I'd have to deal with EA. So the only winning move is not to play.
