Carbon was a piece of crap. Most Wanted was a ton of fun, but the gamecube version didn't run as well as it should have and it obviously should have failed QA in several areas (the last mission was impossible due to slow down at ~3 frames per second). EA targets a platform and ports so egregiously badly that non-target platform almost always suck. Look at Carbon on the Wii --it was literally worse than the gamecube version. Ironically, you were better off buying the gamecube disc and putting it in your Wii than buying the Wii version.
I agree that EA likes to run their franchises into the ground. Release it every other year and put a better quality product out.
So you're saying that EA should give up on the versions that have the bulk of the sales and instead focus on the rapidly shrinking PS2 platform and their worst selling platform, Wii? Why not have them simply make a kickass Need for Speed game that will sell across all platforms? Maybe that might make more sense...
Did you look at the chart? The xbox 360 has barely sold over a milion and the ps2 version has never sold under a million, but often 4+ million or even 6+ million. The bulk of their sales over the last 4 years have clearly been PS2 versions.
Their focus switched to the 360 and their sales took a nosedive is the point.
