Here is why EA is focusing *less* on the Wii.

Example 1:
Units Sold Madden 2008
Xbox 360 1,061,416 VS Wii 151,565

Example 2:
Tiger Woods PGA
Xbox 360 143,595 Vs Wii 65,165

Example 3:
Current EA Games in top 25 software sales.

#5 Medal of Honor: Airborne Xbox 360
#8 Skate Xbox 360
#9 Madden Xbox 360
#11 NHL 08 Xbox 360
#13 Madden NFl 08 PS2
#16 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 XBox 360
#20 Madden NFL 08 PS3 403,347

Face the facts, while the Wii systems are selling crazy well and so are the 1st party software releases. 3rd party software is a different story.

Missing facts:

1. Third party games for the Wii have almost universally been late ports or shit.

2. Madden Wii got much worse reviews than Madden 360.

3. Tiger Woods 07 sold a ton of units on the Wii, relatively, but it was also released less than 6 months ago. That would definitely cut into 08's sales.

This. For some reason I'll never be able to fathom, people expect lazy ports and/or absolute crap to sell as well on the Wii as major graphical and technical upgrades to long-running sports franchises do on the 360 and PS3.

Now, if EA would wise up and upgrade the graphics and tech on whatever slapdash PS2 ports with waggle they're putting on the Wii, and the games STILL didn't sell well, then we might have a case for EA rightfully ignoring the system.

Those are the main reasons. And weren't Madden for 360 advertised like vs Wii version ?
