Peter Moore says the Future Couldn’t be Brighter
Peter Moore, the boss of EA Sports has said that “the future couldn’t be brighter” for the next installment of FIFA.
Discussing the performance of his division on his blog, which usually is sports based, he revealed he was “never satisfied” and would be hitting this year with more innovation and quality than ever – and, if he turns out to be wrong, he says he will get another tattoo.
“Some people don’t like the heat. I actually love it, and it’s been inspiring for me to see that our teams here do as well. Our teams are talented, passionate and motivated. It’s a changing marketplace and they’re responding to the demands of our consumers by developing some incredible products for the season ahead,” said Moore.
“I’m not surprised that NBA Live, which jumped 15 points in review scores [from] a year ago, has the most ground-breaking feature from our line-up this year and we’ll unveil it next month at E3. And I’ll say with supreme confidence that the future couldn’t be brighter for two of our most critically acclaimed products from a year ago - FIFA and NHL.
“We’re never satisfied,” he added. “There’s always more we can do. It’s what we love about our business. I hate to sound like a cheerleader, but the facts are the facts. And I don’t expect them to change any time soon.
“We’re hitting this season in terms of quality and innovation stronger than we ever have at EA Sports. If I’m wrong, you’ll see me sporting a new tattoo - maybe a competitor’s logo?”
A famously eccentric chap, Peter Moore left computer giants Microsoft for pastures new and landed at the door of EA Sports – but from the looks of things, he’s not looking back.
Last year seven of his games broke the one million sales barriers with three titles making the industry top 20 for 2007.
In the meantime, FIFA 08 continues to perform well in Europe, remaining in the all formats top ten since its September 2007 release.
