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?

First, I hope you didn't mean my comment, because what I said is entirely reasonable.

Second, like Kenology alluded to, there are several games with blood, scary stuff, and difficulty and have sold over a million copies.  That market exists on the Wii.  It may not be as large as on the 360 or PS3, but it's there.

As for your last paragraph, yes that is reasonable.  What is not reasonable is to expect no reaction from Wii owners when you make public statments that sound eerily similar to the same "buy this or no more mature games on Wii" threats they have been dealing with in the past year or two.
