EA: The Wii is a legacy now

There own fault or not, it doesn't matter. All they said was they were more successful in making money on other platforms. He just implied that they lost more money on the Wii than other platforms and hence their platform support decision thus far. It doesn't matter if you think they're stupid or incompetent.

Actually what he said was:

"[Wii] is a tough market for a third party." For one thing, that isn't implying he lost more money on it (as that would likely be a lie and when it comes to business information, the SEC can nail you for that as you are trying to decieve the public and investors). For another thing the claim that it's tough is bullshit. Just make the kinds of games you make for the other systems, not make weird games as the PS2 didn't need those, actually market them, and then keep it up instead of dropping after any percieved failure, so that gamers who like those games will soon come to the system when they know there are games they want. That's what they did with the other systems, so anyone who claims that's hard is full of it.

But he also said "they’re (Nintendo) going to see there are too many opportunities in the world right now to go build games on other platforms in a very successful high quality, highly profitable way." Now I noticed he doesn't name any specific system here, or any specific company, but as few are making real money on the other systems, and the most profitable are are also supporting the Wii and DS, the claim is still full of it.
