| bmmb1 said: You can call people with such reactions fanboys, and yes some of them would be fanboys, but I call such reactions being a smart consumer. When you have the choice between several products, give your money to the company that would give you the better return and that cares about you the consumer the most, thus encouraging their behavior. |
True.
This bad reaction could have been avoided if EA didn't treat the Wii consumers the way they did. It's normal than a developer changes its mind and decides to release a game on more platforms (RE4 on PS2, FFXIII on Xbox360, etc). but in this case, the Wii consumer knows that they will get the inferior version when a few months ago it passed from being an exclusive, to a game with exclusive features and no online, to the shaft.
If this were a different business. a company that shafts consumers would be burned easily, even if the later products are excellent. When you lose consumers, you lose big time
