Digital distribution is most profitable part of EA's business

EA has proclaimed its interest in digitally distributed games, and announced in a recent conference call that its digital arm is now the most profitable part of the overall business.

During an earnings call on Monday, EA executives put out projections of $750 million in sales from its digital businesses by next year, building on this year's estimation of $575 million.

Packaged retail goods, on the other hand, aren't expected to see any growth, plateauing at a still impressive $3 billion.

EA also took the opportunity to remind the industry that it's currently the top mobile games publisher in the world, with seven of the top eleven iPhone games, and two of Facebook's ten most popular titles.

After announcing a major new MMO being in production, EA also pledged that every new release will have some form of online component.
