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.



Too bad that the evidence just keeps piling up. EA's recent treatment of NBA Jam, a game that went from being hyped to a game nobody wanted anymore and John Ricitiello's recent interview in which he once again openly states how much of a problem Nintendo and the Wii are.

Not to mention the Wii version of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit which is just another example of how EA handles their big franchises on the Wii. It's no surprise that EA has a hard time to sell their games on the Wii, but that seems to be exactly what they want. Nobody in their right mind would expect million selling titles with that level of quality.

Man i have totally forgotten the NBA Jam Fiasco :/! and now thatI remember, this werent the guys that make this?
