EA's games aren't performing as well as the publisher might have expected this Christmas, and as a result the giant game maker is likely to cut jobs and kill off franchises in the new year as they look to cut costs - that's the expectation of Lazard Capital's Colin Sebastian.

Apparently, while Dead Space, 09 and are doing rather well, Sebastian sees Mirror's Edge, 2 and - most notably, perhaps - Undercover failing to sell in the numbers expected.

"We believe further cost and franchise reductions are likely," the suit continues.

"Importantly, we believe is continuing to review its cost structure and franchise base, and it is possible that management will announce further cuts in headcount and the pipeline (including existing franchises) over the coming quarters."

More from EA soon.
