As the big video game publisher warned, Electronic Arts reported weak earnings today for the holiday quarter, with results hurt by muted sales of its Dragon Age: The Veilguard and global football (soccer) games.

EA’s stock was up 1.44% to $123 a share in after-hours trading. Net bookings for the quarter were $2.215 billion, down 6% from $2.366 billion a year earlier. Net revenue was $1.883 billion, down from $1.945 billion a year earlier.
