NBA Elite 11 Delay Could Cost EA $60 Million (Gamespot)

[Kully]

Sorry, 60 million is a lot of money even for a company like EA.

Bad news all around really.

Nah they wont lose that much all that have to do is put out HD NBA jam for 50-60 bucks with all the game modes and it might end up selling more than elite would have for this quarter. Then add in a nba elite playoff version for next year and some nba related dlc for nba jam and theyll be fine, i know the suits are doing someting to recoup.

1.1 million copies projected? Come on, son! I know most gaming consumers don't study to the extent we do, but they probably would check this title out before purchase, simply because it's a rebooted franchise. There isn't anything that had been written previous to the delay that would give a postive light on the title. It would have had a hard time doing 500,000 copies. EA knew this and pulled the plug. And nobody, including M.P. even knows what it means saying that the game will come out in 2011. Could be 4th quarter, which means NBA Elite 12. He made all of this up out of thin air. Pachter is, once again, just trying to be important. Dumb analyst, dumb article.

Pach is pretty right on these things, but I doubt EA cancel it's NBA franchise altogether....

If by "pretty right" you mean "usually wrong", then yeah, he's pretty right.

Michael Pachter: Nostradamus or ****?

Anywho, obviously this is a very bad situation for EA.
