EA released just two games in 2006 for the Wii. So he's being rather literal, when he says that they have a couple more games to announce for Wii U launch, and that their support for the Wii U launch will be stronger than it was for the Wii launch.

EA in 2006 for Wii: Need For Speed Carbon and Madden NFL 07.

Mass Effect 3 + two more games = 3 games for 2012, which is more than 2 games for 2006.

Hopefully, he's not being completely literal, and it's two unannounced games in addition to the ones that haven't been officially announced, but have been unofficially confirmed by EA. That is, hopefully the lineup is, at least, Mass Effect 3, Madden 13, FIFA 13, and two more games. Five games for launch is a strong presence, not that far behind Ubisoft. Three, on the other hand, is a lacklustre amount of third-party support.

I'd hope that the lineup lookjs, at minimum, like this: Madden 13, FIFA 13, NBA 13, MoH: Warfighter, NFS Most Wanted, and Mass Effect 3. That lineup would convince me that EA are serious about supporting the system. New IPs and exclusives can show up later, if they want - I'm not too fussed, as long as they bring their bigger titles.
