Electronic Arts, or EA for short, has been doing the same. In fact, they had an earnings call earlier today. Of course, with the Switch 2 having been revealed a few weeks ago, third-party companies are starting to receive questions on what their plans are for the Switch 2. EA is no different, with CEO Andrew Wilson being asked about the matter in the earnings call. In response, Wilson said that "Any time a new console comes into the marketplace, that's of a benefit to us. It gives us the ability to access and acquire new players. Typically, we've had franchises perform very well on Nintendo platforms. Certainly, our expectation is that products like FC and Madden and others might find real energy on the platform, as they have done in the past. When you think about something like The Sims and the My Sims Cozy Bundle, which performed well ahead of our expectations – 50% of all players were new to EA – that represents a great opportunity for us. So again, [there is] nothing in our models at this juncture. But our expectation is that any time a great new console comes into the marketplace that gives us access to new players and new communities, that we have the IP that will benefit from that."
