All minority opinions, and some silly ones on Skate and FIFA. Objectively speaking these are quality games with mostly large fan bases and critical acclaim to prove it. 

Almost all Sport Games are plain stupid in my opinion.

So it's not silly, just my opinion.


I feel like you're kind of missing the point, Pie.  I could go game-by-game and say where I disagree with you (definitely on Burnout and Skate), but that's not really what he's getting at.  I too hate Fifa games and don't buy into them.  But Fifa alone is a huge franchise in Europe and helps keep PS3 chugging along over here.  I'd wager it has helped move some serious hardware in its time and if not - at the very least - it's helped keep people interested in the console.

Basically, there's nothing to be lost by having their games on the system.  A lot of EA franchises are still big sellers which get a lot of critical & commercial attention regardless of everybody's personal feelings on them.  And while I don't think Nintendo should be badgering to EA's every whim to get the games on Wii-U (properly), if they're advertising it as a console to help win the HD crowd from Sony/Microsoft, it's gonna hurt a bit if all the games they're getting are half-arsed.
