 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;I&#039;d love to bet on this! I want all the fan-boys to post up. Engaget.com always has plenty of you willing to say why one console will out perform the other. From the look of those numbers, I&#039;d say Sony has a lot to be worried about for a long time to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to an Electronic Arts filing &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=16152&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;released yesterday&lt;/a&gt;, Xbox 360 alone accounted for 50 percent ($218 million) of EA&#039;s total revenue during the third quarter followed by Sony platforms with 25 percent ($111 million - PS2, PSP, PS3) and Nintendo&#039;s Wii and DS with a combined 24 percent ($106 million).&lt;/p&gt;
