lol... Wii is the lowest money maker for EA... EA doesnt need them.

you may want to go read the press releases from EA...

Parts of interest are the GAAP net revenue below. (in millions US$)

  Q1FY10 Q2 FY10 FY10 Totals
Wii 161 142 303
PS3 121 142 263
X360 73 171 244

So seems to me like they are risking upsetting a fairly large revenue source just to boost a couple pre-order sales for a game that must be pretty bad if they really need to get this desperate with their publicity stunts.

Yah according to EA's report the PS3 generated less reveniew then the Wii did. However I'm sure porting titles from 360 to PS3 is fairly cheap opposed to developing an entirely new product for the Wii. This could be the real problem, when EA creates a product for the HD consoles is it really worth it for them to make a Wii version from scratch?
