Conspiracies imply a coordinated effort. It's clear in EA's case that something malicious is going on, even if the others might have a better excuse

I don't think so. Nintendo never had a good relationship with 3rd parties outside of Japan. They decided on Wii U specs and features without even consulting anyone but theselves. I Think this is EA's "problem" with Nintendo just like with every other 3rd party.

Then what became of the "unprecedented partnership"?

Who knows...

Ah, but then there's your argument. EA had Wii U dev kits before most companies. With this foreknowledge, they declared an "unprecedented partnership" would exist between EA and Nintendo, and yet you claim EA's later problems with the Wii U come from "insufficient hardware."

Maybe the people at EA just don't know how to read, and thought the dev kits were telling them higher specs than they were



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Maybe they realized there isn't an audience for EA games on Wii U. Maybe Nintendo demanded some kind of exclusive game and EA refused?

How can you suddenly decide there is no audience before the console is released? Don't even mention the Wii, because EA made this statement prior to the Wii U's launch, which was obviously during the Wii's lifetime.

EA just doesn't like Nintendo. Some things are just that simple. Whether its because of Nintendo's past practices regarding 3rd parties or not, EA just doesn't like doing business with them. If EA actually cared, they would take the time to build an audience, because waiting for one to magically materialize is an example of stupid business practices. Must be why EA has been posting losses lately.

Not before, after. Look at the sales of Fifa 13, Mass Effect 3 and Madden NFL 13. Complete flops, all of them.
But hey, at least New Super Mario Bros U reach 1 million sales. Yay for Nintendo.

EA would still have something to show for their "unprecedented partnership" though. Unless a few late ports are supposed to count for something.

EA is going to avoid the Wii U just like how Capcom and Disney are avoiding the PSVita.

Conspiracy theories galore. Almost as good as saturday morning cartoons of years gone by.

OT: They should definitely do it as they could expand their fan base and could become the go to shooter for Wii U gamers. The sales of Black Ops 2 might be low but it is yet to be seen what kind of interest Wii U user base has towards shooter genre.

Ahh, but who is to blame for their being flops, hmm? Surely not the brilliant, hardworking men and women who decided that Madden NFL 13 and FIFA 13 for Wii U would only get 6 months of development time a piece, or that Mass Effect 3 should be priced for $60 dollars, with no DLC, and release *after* the trilogy version on other platforms which were $60 for 3 games with all DLC.

Surely the people who made those decisions are perfectly rational business geniuses who gave 110%, only to be defeated by the wretched, ungrateful Nintendo fans who took these labors of love and spat on them.

Their partnership is unprecedented though. Unprecedentedly shitty!
