" Earlier on Monday, Electronic Arts, the world's largest video game
publisher, cut its quarterly earnings outlook on weak performance of
older games and shortages of game consoles that spur new game sales.

The company's shares fell nearly 13 percent."

why this last little blurb? to show that EA's poor numbers had little
affect on the recent increase of xbox sales, maybe?

Because EA blamed their shortfall, in part, on console shortages...and as a
response, the stock fell.
