Customers purchasing PS4 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-4/games/12249/playstation-4/)s are buying the console with an average of three games, according to Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen.
Speaking at the UBS Global Technology Conference on Tuesday, Jorgensen said one third of those games are EA titles.

"It looks like the average consumer tie-ratio was about three pieces of software per console, which is exactly what we [projected]... And it looks like one out of every three pieces of software was coming out of Electronic Arts."
EA's next-gen launch window games are FIFA 14 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/sports/13211/fifa-14/), Madden NFL 25 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/sports/13213/madden-nfl-25/), NBA Live 14 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/sports/13367/nba-live-14/), Battlefield 4 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/xbox-one/fps/13167/battlefield-4/) and Need for Speed Rivals (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/playstation-4/racing-driving/13170/need-for-speed-rivals/).
Jorgensen went on to say EA's primary concern "is making sure there's enough product in the stores" because "obviously consumers want to buy software to go with the new boxes".
During the same presentation, Jorgensen said he expects Titanfall to become a series (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/439259/ea-exec-talks-future-titanfalls-on-multiple-platforms/) of games, but that it has yet to be decided which platforms potential sequels will be released on.
