Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): 1, 2, 3, 4…I Declare a Console War

Page 2 of 2

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) could be the better draw, though. After cratering in 2009 and 2010 from a high of nearly $50 per share, the company’s stock is slowly recovering. However, at roughly $23 per share currently, the company’s stock has a long way to go to reach its 2009 high. In fact, I don’t expect it to, even with the potential deals with Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) for console-exclusive gaming. It should still see some pretty solid growth, though, given the general success its games have on the market. This will be especially true when those games get a big graphics boost from the new consoles. Expect some fireworks from these guys at the E3 expo this summer, which should have both gamers and investors reaching for their wallets.

Let the war begin!

It’s been a frustrating path for Microsoft investors, who’ve watched the company fail to capitalize on the incredible growth in mobile over the past decade.
