Electronic Arts Inc's quarterly revenue missed analysts' estimates and the company did not raise its full-year forecasts as much as expected as the strong sales of the newly launched Star Wars: Battlefront proved to be bittersweet. 

Shares of Electronic Arts, which is known to issue conservative forecasts, tumbled 8% in after-hours trading on Jan 28.
