As someone who personally knows people who work at EA, this is a fairly large but unsurprising turnaround for the company. As many news reports have already stated, EA bet the farm last year that PS3 would be the clear leader in next-gen, and spent accordingly. Looking at their last quarter earnings report, obviously it killed them. They are above all else a publicly traded company set out to make as much money as they can, wherever they can, and right now they see the 360 (and the wii) as the best way for them to make a profit. There's no conspiracy or hatred of the ps3 (seriously fanboys, how retarded are you?), they're just a game developer trying to make lots of cash. The minute ps3 starts to outsell the 360, they'll swing back in favor of the ps3 again too.

You go where the install base is -- it's just good business.

How else do you get people to buy the new version if the old multiplayer still works? :P
