EA: PS3 owners hungry for good games

Nope, we're not making any Electronic Arts jokes this time. This is a compliment, believe it or not. EA recently talked about the release of FIFA '08, saying that upon its release "the PS3 numbers were 75 per cent of the Xbox 360 numbers, despite the 360 having a massively higher install base ... That's not that the 360 has underperformed, not for a moment. That's because the appetite for a quality game on the PS3 is there and maybe FIFA is the first game to come and show where the quality is." Either that or a lot of PS3 owners love soccer. Football. Wherever you are local.

EA also touted the PS3 price cut as a source of increased game demand, saying that even with the smaller install base and recent surge in sales, "the PS3 outpunches its weight in attachment to the hardware." That phrase didn't make much sense to us, so we're assuming this is in relation to the competition? If not, whatever, our misinterpretation. How do you guys feel? Hungry for good games, or are you growing satiated with the current releases?
