You're bellyaching because EA isn't releasing the games you want. But at this point 3rd parties have a ton of market research to go on.
They Know: A) Most 'core' gamers with Wii also own a PS3/360 and will buy core games on the HD systems first.
B) Most other Wii owners are non-traditional console owners and not interested in traditional console games
They are giving the Wii great support - however the lack of creativity is fair.
But I see it this way
Electronic Arts
TRIVIAL PURSUIT™ - March - Safe bet to make money.
MySims™ Party - March - Wii Sports clone (blah but might be fun)
EA SPORTS Active™ - May 19 - An excellent and progressive fitness game building on WiiFit's success and catering to the western audience more. Could be HUGE.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 10 - June - With MW+ this is the version of TW to own and depending on how good WM+ really is could become a system seller.
BOOM BLOX™ Bash Party - Spring - Sequel to great game that focused too much on singleplayer puzzles and not enough on it's true strength - fun multiplayer. Could be big.
MySims™ Racing - Summer - Mario Kart clone (again,
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince™ - Summer - Last HP game was well received and sold strongly on Wii. This one uses the same engine and thanks to the movie being delayed a year should be the best Harry Potter game ever. Huge seller.
G.I. JOE™ The Rise of Cobra - Summer - Yeah, crap movie game
EA SPORTS Tennis (working title) - Summer - Wii timed exclusive of new major EA sports line. Uses WM+. I've no problem with that!
So aside from the clones and movie games, I think it's a solid line-up for EA and should serve them well.
