*insert "even Sony fans don't care about the Vita joke" here*

Because Capcom isn't nearly as shitty to Sony as EA is to Nintendo. A lot of Vita fans are pretty butthurt with Capcom, though.

The GC, GBA, DS, Wii and 3DS have very little real EA support so I don't see the lack of EA on Wii U as being much of a problem with success of the console. Far from killing it.

It should also be noted that Sega was losing a lot of money on the DC, had huge amounts of debt, had a string of failed consoles and add ons and a failed portable console line up all on top of the EA thing.

Yay. Badgey is on "our" side!... Correct?

OT: As you can see, I agree with what Badgenome has said. No further points are needed.

As a wii u owner, I can honestly say that I am a little upset about EA not supporting the console. Especially after claiming "unprecedented support" for the system. I however do not agree that EA not supporting the Wii U means the end of the console. I'm not big on sport games and I will be purchasing other next gen consoles, so I won't really be missing out on anything interesting that they release. But EA games were definitely not the reason I purchased a Wii U, although I do acknowledge that EA support can mean a huge difference to other gamers.

I guess only time will tell how much EA support can influence a consoles demise. But I do have to point out that even if they were to fully support the system, it doesn't exactly mean the Wii U was going to be super successful do to EA sports and other EA franchises. EA fully supported the gamecube if I'm not mistaken.

I don't really hate EA for it, I dislike them for many other reasons, ruining the dead space series is one of them. And mass effect's quality going down the drain only showed face after Bioware joined EA. Same with dragon age 2.

I'm annoyed at EA for saying they'll support the console and then doing the exact opposite. But the same criticism could be leveled at Nintendo at this point in time, so singling out EA seems a little harsh.

That said, I haven't bought an EA game since.... FIFA 07? Nothing personal, just their products don't appeal to me.

Needs moar "unprecedented partnership".

And then they should say, "You can always buy the PSP version from PSN and play that on your Vita."

Oh, wait. They did say that.

A rol badG dialogue is definitely worth the effort of a click.

OT: I have never heard the idea that no EA killed the Dreamcast. If I had I would have said it was dumb. As such I would never compare it to the Wii U situation.

Yes, finally someone acknowledges it.

I'll cop to a bit of coping. This whole affair makes me want to punch a hole in the wall, for reasons i cannot quite understand, but at the same time there's a legitimate reason to be bothered by how EA is acting even if, like me, you've never bought an EA game and have no interest in doing so.

Dodece, however, is just being Dodece. One of the mods (not me!) has a running bet that he's a rogue computer program meant to teach 5-paragraph essays.
