EA's corporate spokesman Jeff Brown agrees with Hirshberg by disagreeing, as he had this to say in response:
"Welcome to the big leagues Eric -- I know you're new in the job but someone should have told you this is an competitive industry.
"You've got every reason to be nervous. Last year Activision had a 90 share in the shooter category. This year, Battlefield 3 is going to take you down to 60 or 70. At that rate, you'll be out of the category in 2-3 years. If you don't believe me, go to the store and try to buy a copy of Guitar Hero or Tony Hawk."

I doubt that, logic says you need to throw out a few lines first for other people to comment on.
