Yup yup!

Expected nothing less from EA.

What they really mean is that Switch owners aren't interested in their online DLC bullshit.

Good for EA honestly. If any system succeeds and a company skips out, then they're the ones who end up being the losers.

So just because they have money in the bank, that means they should bleed left and right to go on an arms race? It's bad business and harms the industry in the long run (superficial consoles, demand for extravagant graphics, expensive games, studios closing).

PS: I agree on the X2 point; they should have definitely go the extra mile for that chip.

Yet both PS4 and X1 destroyed the WiiU in sales and the Switch won't come close to either. Having good hardware is great business and these games wouldn't exist without it. Studio closures are apart of every industry and more studios closed during the 80s and 90s. Do your research. You don't need an arms race to make great hardware. PS4 was not very expensive to make and it's old hardware now. Yet Nintendo didn't match it though it would not have broke the bank. In the end you are just making excuses for weak hardware when it should have been stronger. As far as Nintendo being more financially stable than Sony. Um Sony makes more products than just games. As for their games division, PSN is making more money then the whole of Nintendo.

I love this thread.... Having people that game on other systems besides Nintendo joining conversation about EA and Nintendo. Let me just say... Fuck EA

The Switch user base is three months old...pray tell what player differences EA have discovered in that time.

I've heard these bullshit excuses from EA before. I know there are different kinds of gamers but I don't know any gamers who like paying the same for an inferior product (I'm talking features, not tech). If they, just once, produced a Nintendo game with feature parity, at the same time, at the same cost as the other versions, I'd literally fall of my chair. Has it happened since the Wii gen?

In all, making a capable hw, building relationship, moneyhatting. Nintendo put very little effort in 3rd party and them Nintendo fans complain at the 3rd parties not showing love to Nintendo.

The ones Nintendo have carried from the last 20 years?

Wiiu had quite a few games that werent late ports, two CODs, 2 Assassin's Creed, a Splinter Cell, and they bombed all of them. Check the multiplats for the system and they all bombed. People love ignoring those. I think people expect to have ALL games (3rd party wise) on Sony, most on Xbox (sans some Japanese ones) and pratically none on Nintendo, which is been that why since N64 and its no one's fault but Nintendo.

The system just came out, give it some time. It wasnt like they were pumping out games on 3ds day one. Patience. Even then i wouldnt expect stuff like Persona 5

I agree to the wait and see attitude, although I don't expect much from EA. But as I'm not interested in the EA portfolio in the first place, it is of not much relevance.

Persona 5 is exactly the game that would match the Switch. It is not too difficult for Switch (it runs on PS3), japanese RPG is a genre which should go well with the Nintendo crowd and Atlus has a good reputation. Nevertheless I don't expect Persona. But that is a game which would work pretty well.
