Another Wii core game test (Dead Space Extraction)

This thread is dangerous for all the jerking knees in here. EA has made a major Wii shift, and is developing what according to anyone who had had time with it is an amazing game. But it's also a game with blood and scary stuff and difficulty, which so far has sold pretty low on the Wii.

So they're making games for that market but stating that if it doesn't work they're not going to keep doing it. How is that anything other than reasonable?

Dead Space failed to light up the charts on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Yet EA has never stated that they would stop supporting those consoles with those types of games. Secondly Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil:The Umbrella Chronicles proves their conclusion is false.

More importantly though, Why is a light gun game a test case? Why not port the original game over to the Wii and see how it performs or better yet, why not make Dead Space 2 for all home consoles and see how the Wii versions performs. But as the Sega President stated, one mature game failing in the market place does not mean that mature games do not sell on the Wii. If EA treats the Wii gamers with respect like they do the other console gamers then they will benefit. But making on rails games instead of a third person shooter, which everyone wanted, is not how to gain the respect of Wii gamers. I would like to see EA announce Dead Space 2, an on rails shooter, for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and see how that game fairs in the market place.
