Electronic Arts Plays Catch-Up After Shrugging Off Wii's Appeal (Bloomberg)

First: intressting articel, thanks for sharing it.

Some things I feel is intressting:

• Statment of cost: 2-5 million USD against 20 million USD seems a little bit overestimated. At least Red Steel costed somewhere around 10 I think.
• Intressting that most of the major westen devlopers seems to want to join the Wii bandwagon. EA has its specific Wii studio and everything

Other than that I think Ubi really loves that they were first coming to Wii. Red Steel and Rayman seems to be selling pretty well.

When it comes to new gameplay I would state that:

• Red Steel is already there, the sword fighting is pretty new stuff not just hit a button.
• MySims might not be new but will go to the non-core
• Boogie might be a real hit for the female group, just like singstar, but of course that depends of well EA works on that.

When it comes to MoH: Vanguard, it did play better than the PS2 version according to the text, but it got a worse score because of that the writer thought that they could have done better graphics and CoD3 controlls.
