If i had to guess, i would say it's more likely that Sony is backing down due to pressure like they have with cross play. EA Access seems pretty popular and Sony's excuse for not having it was pretty weak.
FIFA 19 is already underperforming.
They got too greedy with the microtransactions on FUT.
Hopefully Anthem hits it's targets. I want Dragon Age.
Good to see Access possibly coming to PS4. I won't be using it since I already own the good games. It might be useful down the line but the next EA game I am planning to buy is the new Dragon Age.
Just give me a Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster please

And we end with EA's full transcript here. Some important quotes:

OP should be updated and all good. Now if you'll excuse me I really need to sleep.

"Underperformed"
Add to that, a couple of billion dollars generated from microtransactions, and the conclusion is that capitalism is fucked
I'm assuming next NFS will just be heavily influenced by Horizon. There's no reason to not go that route at this point.
Indeed.EA is now,essentially,FIFA & co. But no more World Cup this year,so...will see how things are going.
I'm aware of how it works. I still think it's crazy and leads to lots of problems but that is for EtcerEra.
Does DICE have anything scheduled for this Fall? The last handful of years they've done Battlefront one year then Battlefield the next, but with the Respawn Jedi game coming out this fall, is DICE just going to keep working on BFV this year?
I'm guessing Nintendo isn't really their priority as a platform and more like just a side opportunity?
Them missing EA Access on PS4 in time for Anthem's launch is them missing out on a shit ton of dollars...
unless they stealth drop EA Access Februrary 15th to coincide with the week head start on PS4?
Best news out of that earnings report is Respawn getting more money to make amazing games and a Garden Warfare 3 confirmation.

Sony has publicly stated in the past that they turned down EA Access because it didn't represent "the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect."

Technically, Dice and Criterion have survived longer.Oh Bioware ......
Estimate for around this period was 15 million for BF1

I only looked for a few minutes.
Honestly the only way I'm buying a NFS game is if the actual gameplay is solid, which they could take cues from Horizon with. The last NFS I played was the most wanted reboot and that had handling from a zero budget PS1 game, like Hot Pursuit's but even worse. The rest could be peak corny ass hell for all I care, like they could just put a new paint job on the first Underground game and I'd be interested.
It's funny to compare like this but that's entire budget of an AAA title with hundreds of staff working around the clock on it. The gap amounts to them developing GTAV in its entirety and then scrapping it. If that actually happened, it would be reported as a catastrophic failure.
Things change, hopefully. Although my bet is Sony doesn't bite until next gen.
Freaking hell, another new boring NFS game :(, give us a new Burnout for crying out loud, so many of us are wanting a brand new Burnout Paradise type of game, not another stale NFS game. I mean if they "must" do NFS let them give us something more like NFS Underground 2, but this time with the crashing/detail of Burnout games.
Also whyyyy do they continue to Ignore Skate and Fight Night? Those are two fanbases that literally have NO ONE catering to them, it makes absolutely no sense to me. There is literally no AAA game out there for Boxing fans nor Skate fans (there is some promising indie ones being worked on though).
It's like they are literally ignoring them and leaving money on the table.
There's plenty enough room for both Fight Night AND the UFC games, I like both but I am growing tired of UFC and it's stand up game is no where near as fun as Fight Night's boxing.

This is my prediction as well. I browse quite a few gaming sites and the amount of Anthem presence is near 0. I wasn't even aware that Anthem was releasing this month and that's definitely not a good sign for the less informed customer. All my initial takeaways were the demo was disappointing and no one trusts the monetization system.
I'm sure it'll do fine but it will not hit 5-6 million unless this game gets critical acclaim like 95%+ and gets crazy word of mouth; both things I'm betting against.
