Guys, EA is just looking at the NPD results of Nintendo developed games and are following in their footsteps. They are not making creative games nor are they trying to develop games that fill in the genres that are not developed by Nintendo or other third parties.

MySims is more related to Animal Crossing than The Sims, a game that is already a hit with casual and core PC gamers.

EA is developing EA Fitness because Wii Fit has been a Megaton Seller.

Now they are developing Nascar Kart which is a Mario Kart clone. Everyone already knows how well Mario Kart is selling.

Geez, I wonder what EA is going to copy next? I honestly hope their strategy fails. They only see the Wii as a revenue stream. Instead of a gaming console. This is why the HD consoles receive more investment than the Wii. EA just needs to invest in the Wii and look for original titles or treat the Wii as a gaming console like the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Wii gamers like myself would not mind a Command and Conquer game on the Wii in SD nor would we be disappointed with a SD version of Dead Space. But unfortunately, EA is not willing to try. They'd rather clone all of Nintendo's games and make money than put forth any kind of effort.

EA's executives need to be fired. A kid could have come up with the copy what Nintendo is doing strategy.

Because it sells? And why executives have to be fired? Because there are no hardcore games thats developed on the system made by EA? OK lets see, Skate it bombed, Mirror's Edge isnt what it expected it to be Nerf N-Strike spikes in sales by 75 percent this week and it will continue selling. So what EA have to be developed on the system? Madden, NBA live and FIFA series didnt sell as it used to be unlike in HD consoles. Even before All-play. So why the blame on EA? Boom Blox sells, Mysims sells,  Boogie sells, The Simpsons game sells, Nerf N-Strike sells, even Hasbro Family Night sells with 80,000 units so far and Monopoly with 100,000 in sales so far.

I dont agree with what 3rd parties are doing right now but whining in messageboards and sites DO NOTHING. 3rd parties will make an effort for the Wii when the sales of the hardware was on the roof that they cant ignore it anymore it will happen in 2009. But as of now, constant complain   do nothing. Just go ahead, complain but I think 3rd parties dont listen anyway... It only adds up to hundreds of no good game on the Wii thread.
