EA's Busy Week

Electronic Arts has had a pretty good week. Gamespot is reporting on a number of things that seem to be going their way. Earlier in the week the software publisher led a games related stock surge, with the company up almost three dollars at the end of yesterday's trading. Capitalizing on their foot in the door as regards next-gen software, the company is planning to develop games in Japan so as to get a better feel for the Japanese marketplace. They already have a Japan-specific title in the works there for a yet-to-be-announced console. Finally, EA and John Madden have come to an agreement ensuring that the 'Madden Football' series will be around for a few more years. The sports magnate has signed away his likeness to the series for another multiyear contract.

    After buying everybody out, and releasing shitty products, hogging up player licenses. And marketing the hell out of garbage with the most monopolistic lawyer protections... who wouldn't have a busy week.
