I see it as EA trying to sabotage the Wii. They aren't the only one though.

Maybe many of the devs are __still__ holding grudges against the Wii simply because they bet on the wrong horse early on?

I don't see it as sabotage, nor a grudge against he Wii itself. It's more of a misinterpretation of what a true Wii consumer is.

EA and some Companies bet on the wrong horse, then decided to ride it using the wrong products (Call it birdmen, shovelware, whatever) thinking the consumer will buy them. Other companies started right, but then they lost the grounds with wrong products. And then they reach the wrong conclusions to blame the customer, the Wii or even Nintendo. Instead of admitting their guilt.

An average Wii consumer is not very forgiving. when a product is bad or the customer feels shafted, the trust for the company diminishes and it reflects on the sales. Nintendo knows this more than any other developer. 

The backfire is what any company fears the most. I hope EA has good damage control

Sure they do - just look at Dead Space Extraction - almost everybody except Wii fans (and some of those as well) believes this is the ultimate proof that hardcore can't sell well on the Wii. From a game that everybody with eyes in his head knew months and months before it came out that it will fail horribly (even before it received that horrible cover ), it has become the game everybody loves to give as the premier example of hardcore games failing on the WIi. If that isn't not just good, but excellent damage control, I dont know what is...
