| RolStoppable said: Because EA missed the Wii and to convince investors that they made the right decision by doing that, they had to sabotage many of their Wii games to make them sell less than they could potentially have. Dead Space Extraction is a prime example of this as before its release EA openly said that it was a test to see how such games sell on the Wii. While at first most suspected this was just said to trick Wii owners in buying the game in order to support mature hardcore games on the Wii, it's pretty clear by now that it actually was a message to investors to pay close attention to this game's sales. And just like that, DSE now serves as EA's ultimate excuse to not have to bother with serious Wii support anymore. |
EA is about making money, I doubt they went out of their way to sabotage another path of revenue just to stick it to Nintendo and Nintendo fans. EA aren't the only company that have had trouble selling games on the Wii and like most other publishers, they've found that other audiences are more open to spend money on their products, so they shift resources around to provide for the people who are actually buying third party games.
Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
