but ME2 for PS3 is a good example. I guess EA must hate Sony as well??

It is NOT a good example, unless EA released a compilation of ME1 and ME2, a few weeks before for the same price. The complain is not because EA is releasing ME3 for Wii U at full price (that I don't think is the right price anyway), but because they sent the game to die as they are ALSO releasing 3 full games of the same franchise in an special box, a few weeks early for the SAME price.

The conspiracy theory appears because they had no good reason to just delay the trilogy (to release the 360 and PS3 versions at same time on a later date), offer ME3 for Wii U at a lower price or the trilogy at a higher one, people is trying to give sense to the decision and the 'conspiracy' is as good as 'this guys are just idiots!', I will say that is even more fun.

It is irrelevant because the trilogy is being released on a DIFFERENT system than Wii U. Had the trilogy been announced for Wii U then we could say ME3 was absoluetlly sent to die. The argument that people would opt to buy the trilogy instead of ME3 for Wii U makes no sense, because if they had any intention of buying the WIi U version of ME3 one would have to assume that they are doing so because they dont have access to the other platforms that had all the games on them in the first place.

So they should screw the PS360/PC owners with a higher price...for what?? They wont do that cause they know it wont sell they are trying to make money. PS3 versions is at least being released later and really it doenst matter when the 360/PC version of the trilogy will be released as the trilogy itself has been available for some time. Yeah they should have sold Wii U version for cheaper, just like they should have done with ME2 for PS3. But here we are

I don't see how the trilogy being released on a different version have anything to do with it. It is released on a different system, but it is on a system that have a way bigger user base. ME trilogy is still competition to ME3 on Wii U.
