EA has been making a killing in the PC space (unlike its performance with music-based games), the company revealed during its recent financial earnings report. Shacknews reports that EA has seen profits from digital distribution on the PC platform double over last year to $80 million, whereas the company's digital distribution revenue on the whole has generated $400 million for the company this fiscal year. CFO Eric Brown says EA's online business is growing at a phenomenal rate, "as much as 60% year over year." As such, EA says "the PC is becoming the largest gaming platform in the world," prompting the company to focus accordingly.

Why not spend that $200 on 4 children's games for the PS3 you already own? My kid has his own PS3 and 360 controller for example. My soon to be 3 year old recently kicked the butt of some 7 year olds in Viva Pinata: Party Animals.
