Are EA still relevant?

After the bitter disappointment that the new Dead Space will be an on-rails shooter, I ask is EA still relevant?

I think EA had the chance to do something truly amazing with this game, a true standout title for the Wii.  Instead we get a cheap on-rails shooter  that will take all of an hour to complete.  Don’t get me wrong,  The House of the Dead: Overkill was a great game.  

Every time EA comes out and says we are going to compete with Nintendo I think cool, but I don’t think they ever will.

I corrected that for you.

BTW, what is wrong with on-rails shooters?  I'm sure I'll like the Wii version of Dead Space better than the 360 version because at least it will have likely have good controls.
