EA CEO John Riccitiello said during the conference call, which can also be found on Gaming Today:
“In terms of pacing the next few quarters, you’re probably well aware of the more than $2.5 million music downloads that have occurred on Rock Band, and that’s a good part of the business. But what is probably the most interesting pieces right now is the coming launch on the Wii, the continued sale of the core platforms in North America and then the fiscal ‘09 launch across Europe against all of the SKUs. So frankly, for the balance of our Q4 and the first half of fiscal ‘09, Rock Band’s a key focus.”
The Nintendo World Report states that "Riccitiello said that Rock Band will be a big part of EA's portfolio in its next fiscal year, which starts in April." Though, it is unknown weather or not Rock Band Wii will be in EA's new fiscal year.
So, I guess those microphones with Wii capabilities were foreshadowing a future of rocking out! Congratulations Wii owners!
