- Tuesday, May 21, 1:39 PM More on the Xbox One: The device has a Blu-ray player, and is said to be "practically silent" when running. A new Kinect sensor is being bundled with the console (JDSU a likely supplier): its camera, color depth, and motion-sensing abilities are improved, and voice is said to be more "conversational." Xbox SmartGlass mobile apps are integrated with the One, interactive TV content is paired with shows, and a "snap mode" shows multiple apps a once. Electronic Arts (EA) is promising to launch titles from 4 sports franchises - FIFA, Madden, NBA Live, and UFC - in the next 12 months, aided by a new gaming engine. (live blog) Comment! [Tech]

Friday, May 17, 5:42 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: GAIA +7.6%. ADK +6.4%. PATH +5.3%. GST +4.2%. DQ +3.3%.
After-hours top losers: DATA -5.1%. QEP -3.8%. CPRT -3.8%. RPAI -3.6%. EA -2.3%. Comment! [On the Move] - Friday, May 17, 5:04 PM GameStop (GME +4.5%) closed with a big gain after NPD reported U.S. physical retail video game sales fell 17% Y/Y in April, better than some feared; they fell 1% in March, and 27% in Feb. Hardware sales fell 42%, as gamers wait for this fall's launches. Total industry physical retail sales fell 25%; as Electronic Arts (EA +0.9%) and Activision's (ATVI +0.5%) latest results show, such sales make up a declining portion of industry revenue. Take-Two's (TTWO +1.9%) Bioshock: Infinite and NBA 2K13 were the month's 3rd and 7th-most popular titles, and Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Skylanders Giants were #4 and #8. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 16, 6:29 PM Electronic Arts (EA) roundup: 1) Denise Warren, the NYT's digital chief, is replacing Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei on EA's board. 2) EA is killing off its Online Pass program, which drew the ire of many gamers due to the fees it charged to enable online features when playing a game for the first time on a console. 3) EA has opened an L.A. studio to develop the Star Wars games that will flow from its recent deal with Disney. 4) EA is working on a mobile version of its Frostbite game engine, used in Battlefield, Need for Speed, and Medal of Honor titles (among others).

Thursday, May 16, 5:41 PM
After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: SINA +4.7%. EA +2.7%. NBG +2.5%. AKAM +2.4%. DYAX +2.4%.
After-hours top losers: ARUN -13.7%. ADSK -5.2%. BRCD -4.9%. JWN -3.5%. EGLE -2.4%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, May 9, 7:10 PM Electronic Arts (EA) has indeed cut 10% of its workforce (~900 jobs) since reports of job cuts emerged on April 25. The cuts are likely a big reason why the FY14 EPS guidance provided by EA was (much to the Street's approval) above consensus even as revenue guidance was below. Is EA taking Mitch Lasky's advice? In March, the VC argued EA Games "has been pretty undisciplined about product selection, cost control and marketing spend," and that (along with a stronger focus on mobile, online, and free-to-play gaming) "a lot of hard, cost-cutting work" is needed for EA to return to glory. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, May 8, 5:42 PM Activision (ATVI) -6.3% AH after providing light guidance to go with a Q1 beat. A 1.3M Q/Q drop in World of Warcraft subs to 8.3M is likely troubling investors. Online subscription sales (WoW and Call of Duty Elite) fell 9% Y/Y made up 28% of revenue, down from Q1 2012's 43%. But console game sales +85% and 31% of revenue (23% prior). PC game sales (led by StarCraft II and Diablo III) +384% and 15% of revenue (4% prior), and Other sales (inc. handheld/mobile and Skylanders toys) +39% and still 19% of revenue. Digital channels made up 53% of sales vs. 44% a year ago. Electronic Arts (EA) -1.4% after rising 17.1% thanks to its FQ4 report. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]

[On the Move] - Tuesday, May 7, 5:52 PM Electronic Arts (EA) now +7.7% AH as better-than-feared FY14 guidance overshadows an FQ4 EPS miss. Activision (ATVI) +1.1%. EA's "Digital' revenue (inc. downloads, subscriptions, ad sales, etc.) rose 45% Y/Y to $618M, while packaged goods/other revenue fell 25% to $396M. Consoles 65% of net revenue (66% a year ago), PCs 21% (25% prior), mobile 9% (6% prior), handhelds 3% (1% prior). Free cash flow was $208M vs. net income of $169M. Battlefield 3 Premium subs rose by 600K to 3.5M. The Simpsons: Tapped Out produced almost $10M in net revenue in March; Real Racing 3 is also doing well on iOS. (PR) Comment!

- Monday, May 6, 5:47 PM Electronic Arts (EA) +2.1% AH after announcing a multi-year deal with Disney (DIS) to make new Star Wars games "spanning all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres." Disney maintains the rights to develop mobile, online, and social games for the franchise. The deal comes shortly after Disney decided to shutter LucasArts' game development studio, and close to 18 months after EA launched Star Wars: The Old Republic, whose performance has underwhelmed.

- Thursday, April 25, 3:42 PM More layoffs for Electronic Arts (EA +1%): sources tell gaming site Kotaku EA has cut as much as 10% of its 9K-strong workforce. EA confirms it's cutting jobs, but doesn't provide specifics. The report shortly follows one claiming EA's 3rd-party publishing services unit is being closed, and two weeks after job cuts hitting EA's Montreal studio were reported. Developer tweets suggest mobile developer PopCap's Vancouver studio and Need for Speed: World developer Quicklime are among the casualties this time. Regardless of the details, it looks like chairman/interim CEO Lawrence Probst is intent on cutting headcount. Comment! [Tech]
