I don't think it's limited to EA, though. EA is probably the worst example so far, even though they attempted a Wii cash-in with Boogie. EA hasn't exactly made me happy as a PS3 owner either. We'll see what happens next year with both the PS3 and Wii. I have both, so I'm expecting a little catch up so I don't have to get a 360 and can just upgrade my PC for Bioshock. I'd like to see a PC and/or PS3 version of Mass Effect, too, which EA now has control over since they bought Bioware. |
True, that is a valid take on the matter, though I think you may be a bit pesemistic on the outlook for the Wii and its third party developers. If anything, Bioware and the other developer recently purchased by EA are more likely to make games for the Wii now. That doesn't garantee they'll be good games, that doesn't garantee EA will turn around it handling of the Wii, but the fact remains, the situation is no worse off than it was before.
If EA is going to handle their business poorly, then they are going to suffer for it, simple as that, the Wii or any other console can't be burdened to worry about developers that aren't living up to their end of the deal.
