Thanks EA, really...

And Dead Space Extraction was not the only example, there are others (for example the basketball game with celebs, forgot its name). One case could be coincidence, but there is a clear pattern for EA and the Wii from a certain point onwards.

As to companies possibly sabotaging games on purpose to gain certain objectives - those who think it is unlikely and mad obviously do not know this world we live in well enough. People embezzle and murder for far less money than the kind of money these companies roll around.

You must mean NBA Jam. This game had an interesting history. There was hype after the E3 announcement, but then it got bad news after bad news. It's as if EA was scared that the game would sell on the Wii and tried their best to achieve the opposite. I don't remember all the details, but it eventually came down to the 360 and PS3 getting superior versions announced for half the price or something along those lines.

None of this is actually true, the PS360 version was the same price came out later and was also missing features. THe baller mode or whatever it was called was replaced with an online mode. Both versions were lacking and there wouldnt be an actual complete version released until the next year on PSN/XBL

All of this WAS true at the time the Wii version came out - it does not matter what eventually happened, what matters was what was known at the time the WIi version came out - and what was known at that time was that the HD version will be available with online, minus one mode, and FOR FREE to anyone buying it together with NBA Elite 11. Now tell me this would not kill the momentum for any game...

Eventually what happened was that NBA 11 was delayed/cancelled, so they sold NBA Jam as a standalone with all the bells and whistles, in HD,  including the Wii mode (and with online) at the same price as the Wii game.
