EA boss hints at fewer game releases in future

Wouldn't be shocked to see the publisher's slate reduced to 30 titles a year.

EA chief executive John Riccitiello has suggested the publisher's slimmed down release schedule - reduced to about 40 titles on various platforms in the next financial year - could be cut back even further in the years ahead.

Speaking at the Reuters Global Media Summit in New York on Tuesday, Riccitiello said: "Thirty wouldn't shock me at some point in the future."

A reduction to just 30 titles a year would represent a further 25 per cent cut on EA's release slate.
