| JWeinCom said: It isn't like this is the first time that a major company made an exceedingly poor decision. EA and Bioware's entire handling of the Mass Effect 3 ending debacle is proof of this. But the idea that EA is making what many, including myself, think is a poor decision is alot more likely than the possibility that EA is making some Wile Coyote type scheme to make a poorly selling game. IF they didn't want to make games for Nintendo, all they have to do is release a statement saying "the Wii U does not coincide with EA's company goals at the moment" and blah blah blah. And of course, there is the possibility that we're wrong, and this is a decent decision. Maybe they'll make money on this, and they'll get experience working with the Wii U hardware to make future ports easier. |
This would be great if THEY were doing the port, but EA gave it to an external company, an australian one called Straight Right and it seems they are taking advantage of the experience as they are already working on another 2 titles for the console. "We've made a few bets on Wii U actually so we're certainly hoping it does well. In addition to ME3 we have an original Wii U title in development, and we've started on another big game in a well known franchise that will be released in 2013". - CEO of Straight Right Tom Crago
As I see it is a lose-lose proposition for EA, they are expending money so another company learns about the console not them, they are messing with the sales by announcing the trilogy and launching it (at least for 360) before the full price ME3 for Wii U, so its hard not to think that either there is some kind of conspiracy (unlikely) or there is a serious communication problem inside EA that does not let themselves to see this big mistakes that could hurt the final income.
