EA Sports Active was a bona fide hit last year, almost managing to challenge Nintendo's own Wii Fit in its debut month. This year, EA is following that success with not one but two sequels, both listed as "TBA" in the company's financial earnings report. Both are simply outed as console titles coming in the third quarter of 2010 -- that is to say, between October 1 and December 31.
We can't tell for certain what EA's plans are for the franchise, but their timing seems fortuitous. A Q3 release would put these two unannounced titles conveniently close to both Natal and Sony's motion device. We could be seeing the first hints of a separate EA Sports Active title planned for each of the upcoming devices. Alternately, one of the TBA games could be a proper Wii sequel, leaving us to wonder what the other one may be. If EA opens another round of temporary EA Sports Active stores, they're likely to showcase the strengths of each game for potential customers.
