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.

Well yeah.  That's why they're complaing.  If you'll notice he never actually says the wii costs them money.  Just it's not doing as well as they hoped, you know to fund all the HD games.  It was EA who had that strategy right?

They also don't mention that either.

They don't mention it, but if you go back and read the rest of the thread, its pretty much the conclusion the rest of us have made.

In any case, they shouldn't be complaining about the Wii games 'not meeting expectations' when they're doing just fine on the Wii.  Where's their whining about their 360 or PS3 games not meeting expectations?  Or did they just expect many of them to sell badly (and many of them sell less than their Wii counterparts).

Its just another third party trying to use the Wii as a moneymaker AND a scapegoat for all that's wrong in the industry.

Well, see, they do call out when their HD games sell under expectations. They did last year when Mirror's Edge and Dead Space both started under expectations.
