Did the 360 not have an obvious instant selling point of being the only HD version? A simple yet large difference visually between versions. The Wii U version had no such selling point.

If people are buying Vitas for Madden, that speaks more to the kind of people who buy Vitas than it does the supposed unviability of the Wii U.

It's not exactly EA's fault that Nintendo decided to make a console roughly on par with current gen.  Seems like something to take up with Nintendo.  The Wii U version does utilize the tablet, though it is up for debate whether that is a selling point in general.  It also doesn't explain why the PS3 saw 10x higher sales on a smaller install base in 2006 despite not having that selling point of being the only HD version.

It is EA's fault that they couldn't use the 2.5 months between the PS3/360/Wii/Vita and Wii U releases to make the game actually on par with the other versions, or better (as it absolutely should have been).

If they didn't intend to make the game right, they shouldn't have made it at all, and they have no grounds to complain about its sales.
