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

[shams]

I was going to post this article as well... has some really interesting comments in it.

Firstly, the perception that the Wii is some "stop-gap, lame console" to fill the console transition gap is out the window. Its here to STAY.

Secondly - look out for more & more Wii game related announcements. Said it before - eventually *every* big franchise/game will make its way to the Wii - in some form.

It doesn't matter what it *actually* costs to make a Wii title - once figures like this are published in a respectable news outlet - other companies/people will read them, and act on them. At worst, Wii titles cost 50% of a PS3 title - at best its closer to 10%.

In short - momentum for the Wii will continue to build (as will 3rd-party support) for at least the next 12 months. Now its up to Nintendo to capitalise, and get enough stock to market. The 16m shipped figure is interesting... (approx 1.3m/month).
