EA discontinues NBA Live, Madden on PC?

Not sure how many this will impact, but I've read on a few sites that EA Sports will be discontinuing a few of their sports series on the PC, including NBA Live and Madden.

Looks like they're destined to be console-only for the foreseeable future.

First heard it mentioned on ABC2's Good Game. Can't find anything on EA's site about it (but then it's probably not the sort of thing they want to tell everyone).

Was announced ages ago that EA was going to drop titles, also possibly NHL and FIFA.

so so expected.

X-box 360 and PS3 will be those consoles that continue to deliver and looks that if any fans ever wont to play NBA live again, a new console may be the way to go. ( lukily i own a ps3... ;) )

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

PC with my USB Logitech controller has always meant that I didn't need a console. I use it to play everything from NBA Live down to MAME versions of the old NBA JAM.

I might have to finally spring for a console.

Take-Two (who own 2k Sports) are set to rake in US$400m in the first week of sales for the new GTA game. They're hoping that will allow them to fight off EA's bid because they don't want to sell up.

Probably don't sell as well (especially for that genre), are harder to create and test (broader array of hardware possibilities) and easier to pirate.
