Combined hardware and software figures from NPD for January show a 13 percent year-on-year decline, with lone hardware sales taking a 21 percent hit compared to 2008.

While features from debug firmware don’t always follow their retail equivalent, […]

While 2009 was a better year for EA, there’s still room for improvement, considering the gaming behemoth took a hit on its profit margins yet again.

In a conference call with analysts, COO John Schappert revealed […]
