Army of Two Misses ’07 Target
The military-themed combat game comes out of EA Montreal, and will be the first game in what EA hopes to become a franchise. "’Army of Two’ has potential to become a lasting EA franchise -- so getting the first title right is essential," said EA Games president Frank Gibeau. Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter told Reuters that he expected the PS3/Xbox 360 title to generate around $54 million in EA’s fiscal third quarter (October-December). The game was originally announced for a November release. "It’s an important game for them if they hope to establish it as a franchise," Pachter said. "It shouldn’t have much of an impact, but the market always seems to assume the worst about the company."Source: http://www.next-gen.biz
