Wall Street analysts are expecting video game publisher EA to hit earnings targets thanks to holiday sales of first-person shooter Battlefield 4 and soccer sim FIFA 14.
Redwood City, Calif.-based EA, one of the biggest and oldest game publishers in the industry, reports earnings for its all-important fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31 after the market closes today. Analysts and investors are closely watching the quarter, as it is a bellwether for sales of the multibillion dollar industry’s next-generation consoles (Xbox One and PlayStation 4) and includes the first holiday sales season under new chief executive Andrew Wilson.
