I see the excuses are already coming out for this game...

Geez.

At least give it a chance on the market before you start coming up with stupid excuses for it not selling well.

 

I better leave this JAM thread anyway before I get happy that it's cheaper and get banned for "dumping on the Wii".

When you deliberately disadvantage your products, that's no excuse. It's just as insulting as when EA decided, later on, that Dead Space Extraction was only worth $10, after pushing the $50 version on Wii owners *and* blaming them for the title's failure (by canceling Doom Resurrection for Wii and moving it to iPhone), when clearly by their own estimation it was worth only a fifth of that.

In this case you're seeing the same thing. It's straight-up insulting

Its not insulting, its a sound business investment by EA.  Its not EA's fault that Wii owners continue to shun 3rd party titles by calling them inadequate then turn around and cry when they lose exclusivity.

When you're charging 5x more than what the product is worth because you think you can get away with it, how is that not insulting?

 

Lost exclusivity is not at issue here. This is far more vicious.

Game price variation happens all the time in sales of video games, if you cant grasp that you dont need to be playing games.  OMG I pay 20 bucks for FF1 on my PSP BUT you can get it on the iphone for only 10, I feel robbed.  I mean come on, grow up.
