EA Looking to Get More “Digital Service” Social Games Onto Facebook

During today’s Q4 earnings call, EA reported more growth in its digital segment: net digital revenue for the quarter rose to $211 million, 46% above the same period a year earlier, and net income went to $151 million from $30 million. The very broad “digital” segment includes social games developed by Playfish or separately,  as well as other “digital service” casual and browser games that are treated as extensions of packaged console goods, the same as downloadable content.
