Looking at Fifa 13 its sold 11 million on the PS3/360 and only 500k on the Wii and 70k on the Wii U.
A direct competitor launching on the weakest platforms for the franchise isn't going to make them bat an eyelid. They dont need to put fifa on any nintendo platform for it to be a massive hit.
Still, I thought EA were obliged to develop the game for every available platform as part of the licensing deal with Fifa.

The fact that Mario Strikers Charged sold at least 2.5 times as many FIFA game released on the Wii makes me think that people ARE interested in such games, if done correctly.
To add to this, the WiiU has an advantage that would increase gameplay experience, through use of the mandatory gamepad as mentioned...
To be honest, it makes me wonder if EA is pissed off that Nintendo can make higher selling sports titles on their consoles than ones that EA spend lots of money on licensing...

As long as it is a commercially viable platform, they have to, I am pretty sure. IF 70k figure is true, then it is not a commercially viable platform at all.
Given the half-hearted, at best, treatment of their Wii U launch titles. Screw them. Someone said that Nintendo should yank their 3DS license in response, I wouldn't blame them if they did.

How so? That would be one less reason for EA to invest in WiiU |
As I mentioned before, if a gridiron football game becomes hugely successful that is NOT an NFL license, do you think that the NFL would accept EA's excuse to NOT directly compete with it, with it's own hardware advantage, such as the gamepad?

That's actually... a brilliant idea! :p
Out of any big gaming company that could decide to not make games for Nintendo...this is by far the one that I would be the least upset over.

I guess there's a point there, but first they'd have to make the game and somehow make it popular on a platform that doesn't seem to be interested in traditional sports games. I mean, even if Nintendo made it it would still probably be nothing like the "real" NFL games. |
Introduce something that the NFL games don't have. You'd be drawing interest from both sides (the gridiron fans and the Mario fans), and demoing the WiiU potential for the sport at the same time. Then people will ask "why isn't *insert feature here* available for Madden?"
Nintendo should be a handheld only company and 3rd party publisher. That would be great.
Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!
