Electronic Arts has reported a 31% drop in profits, as the cost of developing games for the latest generation of video consoles continued to bite.
The world's biggest video games maker said net income in the three months to December fell to $259m (£146m), from $375m in the previous year.

Electronic Arts warned that 2006 would remain a challenging year for the firm.

The video games industry is in the middle of a drawn-out transition to the next generation of console technology.

These are the people that make FIFA and things like NFS.
