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

Here's your answer EA: Make better games on the Wii.

And they shouldn't be complaining. Their games are some of the better selling third party games on the Wii. I swear, their only complaining because they didn't make enough profit to cover their losses.

Erm...since when is trying to make a profit a bad thing? Seriously, if everybody thought that way, well, there would be no games.

My point was, they're complaining about the Wii 'specifically' because they are losing money across the board.  In other words, they started focusing on the Wii in the last year pretty hard and expected it to just pay off for them big time (basically, copying Nintendo's 'Wii' strategy along with putting a lot of weak casual and sports titles on the system).  Instead, they lost money and blame the Wii.

They're just like most third parties who try to crank out less than avg games on the Wii and then complain when they don't sell as much as they planned.  In the case of EA, they had banked on the Wii to cover their rising expenses...but didn't put forth the effort in making quality games.

I dunno, some of EA's games have been pretty good. Suffice to say, if there is one place where they are not making money, they should cut that out so they can begin making profit again. EA banked heavily on the Wii, and it didn't deliver (regardless of how "horrible" the games were). Besides, the way some people are talking, it sounds like it would be a good thing if EA stopped developing for the Wii.
