EA down on Wii, but not out - willing to work with Nintendo to make software sell

Looking at their financial report, this is the distribution of revenue for each of the three consoles in the last quarter:

Xbox 360: $171 million (41% down YoY)
Wii: $142 million (51% up YoY)
PS3: $142 million (18% up YoY)

So they better not be kidding when they say "not out"... I doubt they're spending more (or significantly more) on Wii development than PS3/360 development, and revenue is very similar to the other consoles (and a lot up from last year).

 

Considering that the Wii is at the exact same profitability as the PS3 I see no reason for them to be complaining. I think titles on the Wii are simply not selling because they lack name recognition. All EA needs to do is bring over some existing IP's and give them a couple good quality titles.... Oh wait EA doesn't have any real good IP's of their own....almost forgot not.....

EA can't expect every little title they make to be a massive success, Didn't Need For Speed perform fairly well? If EA put alittle more effort into making Wii titles we would see massive profits. How about EA uses their last Spielberg compisition on something more story driven then Boom Blox, lets face it Spielberg is amazing at story telling why waste his talents on puzzle games?
