Big video game publisher Electronic Arts has been on a roll since Andrew Wilson took over as chief executive in September 2013. And that roll is continuing, as EA reported second fiscal quarter earnings that beat expectations for the quarter ending Sept. 30.

The company’s results are widely watched as a bellwether for the $91 billion global market for all things gaming. EA had been forecast to post non-GAAP earnings of 45 cents per share on revenue of $1.1 billion for the September period. The company reported results of 65 cents a share on revenue of $1.5 billion. A year ago, EA had a profit of 73 cents a share on $1.22 billion in revenue.
