Former EA COO says EA is in ‘investment mode,’ focusing on digital distribution

Right before hitting the ol’ dusty trail for Playdom , now ex-EA COO John Pleasants sat down with Reuters for an interview all about the future of EA. In it, he speaks to the multifaceted future of EA (especially with regards to business models), as well as the importance of EA’s current “investor mode,” saying the company will announce new deals with various social networking services “some time in the near future.” Though we’re not sure if the recent change in guard from Pleasants to Microsoft alum John Schappert will alter what the ex-COO said to Reuters, things like the recently announced Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online point to “not likely.” This isn’t exactly a dramatic change from statements that Pleasants has made in the past regarding the company’s business strategy, so it remains to be seen whether or not Schappert will steer the EA ship in another direction or stay the course.

Platinum Games’ first release may not have been a sales phenomenon, but the company has found (relative) success with its second, the DS sci-fi roleplaying game Mugen Kouro ( Infinite Space ). It was a slow week for Japanese software sales, which allowed Infinite Space ’s 38,394 copies to put it at the top of the Media Create sales chart for last week, its first week in stores. The three spots below that on the chart also belong to DS games: last week’s top seller, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days sits at #2, followed by Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Sloane and Machale’s Mysterious Story . The #5 position is held by Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires on PS3.
