During EA’s latest quarterly earnings briefing, EA CEO Andrew Wilson was asked for his thoughts on the new Nintendo console that we’ve heard many rumors about. Wilson refused to comment on an unannounced product, nor could he even acknowledge anything pertaining to it. However, Wilson did offer a high-level breakdown of how new and more powerful systems, over the years, have helped improve EA’s business.
“To the extent that platforms over the course of the last 20 years have come out and offered improved CPU, GPU, memory, battery life, screen resolution–to the extent those things have happened–where we’re able to deliver more immersion for our players, particularly around our biggest franchises like FC, like Madden, like Battlefield, like Apex that has typically been very good for our business,” Wilson said.
Wilson went on to say that when people can “experience” EA’s games “at the highest level” in terms of graphics and fidelity, that has “typically worked out very well for us.”
