is to be the first of many more titles from EA Sports which will be aimed at the casual gamer.

We need to do better on the Nintendo platforms, and we intend to do that. It’s a different type of game mechanic that the Nintendo Wii consumer, in particular, can play.”

Fight Night is a great franchise, you bet we’re gonna continue to create games like Fight Night,” he added. Round 3 was a phenomenal game for us and did around $140 million in revenue on a worldwide basis, but we think there’s a different type of consumer that loves boxing games and doesn’t want the authentic simulation game that we currently offer.”
