Blue3, you need a reality check because the EA games profit more from the Wii games than the PS3/360 ones. If you compare sales and then put in the profits and development costs, more money is made from the Wii version due to the low dev costs. Unless the other version sold MUCH more, I highly doubt that they make more money from the PS3/360 ports.

Wow you wii fans really live in lala land, here is some reality for you.

Madden 360 - 1,600,000
Madden PS3 - 380,000
Madden Wii - 353,000


Call of Duty 3

WII - 298,000
PS3 - 238,000
360 - 1,080,000

yahh iam Soooo sure wii was more profitable for them LOL.

You just proved the point, it was much more profitable to make the Wii versions than the PS3 versions

 

LOL wii fans are delusional to the bitter end, those PS3 games are 360 ports.  They did not cost 20 miilion to appear on the Ps3.

 

 Its not free though, you still have to adapt the game for the PS3, because the architecture and software tools are different, plus you have the PS3 dev kits.

 

Wii dev costs are a fraction of the PS3 and 360
