Unfortunately this is two very different situations. EA Sports are a huge draw, and a huge cash cow. It is only natural that Nintendo would want to placate them andboost sales of their games and possibly future iterations of said games. Given that EA has stated in the past that Wii Sports is likely a deternt for customers buying other sports games it is only natural for Nintendo to try and give them a leg up.
This is mostly speculative I admit, but there is some basis for it. From the time WM+ was announced it was tied to Wii Sports Resort. All of a sudden though Wii Sports Resort is pushed back a month from WM+, and EA sports titles suddenly are hitting there and are packaged with the accessory. It is possible that it is just a coincidence, but it seems to me that this is Nintendo's way of helping EA break into the sports market on the Wii.
