Could anybody translate "lack of business drive" from business English to regular English?

EA's still sad and butthurt that Nintendo didn't pay them to use Origin as the basis for Wii U's online.

or they dont think they will make money on doing a port of Crysis to WiiU, and Nintendo didnt give them any financial incentive to port it.

nintendo fans can be a strange group, they think game companies have it in for nintendo. no they simply dont think they will make money with them.

its like every time, a company comes around and says we wont be making our game for nintendo, you guys say "good, i wouldnt buy your games anyway, i hate your company". thats exactly it, you guys a the nintendo fanbase/userbase, and are admitting you dont buy those types of games, they dont interest you.

the market just isnt there.

Now we're back to an argument that i thought was put to bed over the course of the last generation. Third party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles not because the audience isn't there, but because third parties assume Nintendo gamers need to be treated with kid gloves or that third parties just don't make good games for Nintendo consoles. When third parties really try, they get results. The issue is that they usually don't really try. And then justify their lack of trying by throwing up their hands, saying "the market isn't there," and leaving a hell of a lot of money on the table while they shut down developers left and right.

Nobody should be expected to buy anything just to earn third party support. As i said earlier in the thread, i bought Ninja Gaiden 3 and Batman Arkham City, because Team Ninja listened to gamers and addressed the flaws of NG3 for the Wii U's RE edition, and because Arkham City is just a good game, put on the Wii U with no obtrusive gimmicks (combat mode just helps you disable bad guys quicker). I will buy Monster Hunter Tri U because that will be a good game, well worth the investment.

Am i going to buy all the games that i complain aren't coming to Wii U? No. Are PS360 gamers expected to buy *every* game that's worth playing? No. We buy the games we want to play, and to speak otherwise is to promote a double standard.

Are we bitter? Hell yes, and with good reason.
