EA: "Never Underestimate Nintendo"

Still, EA will no doubt be "opportunistic" as interim CFO Ken Barker noted. That means if the Wii U takes off, EA will jump on it, even though it means getting to the party late. This is pretty much how EA (and other major publishers) approached the Wii last time; little support at launch, but once it proved a hit resources were shifted to take advantage of it. The minimum 1-year delay this causes will not help the Wii U in its quest to get established. The other implication of this is that EA will not be putting great effort into specific Wii U development; any titles that are started are likely to be ports, without much resource spent on adapting to the gamepad controller."

So they are trying to set themselves up for failure yet again?

Great...

I hope he doesn't become the full CFO.

Clearly interm is all he is good at as he has no clue what is going on in EA.

I do not recall any resources being shifted to Wii developement for Wii games. Unless he is referring to those gimped cartoon childish sports games made by work experience students?
