The Wii U doesn't appeal to enough people to get a large user base. Therefore, considering the 140 million+ PS3's/360's out there, why bother releasing on the Wii U? It's not a profitable exercise, more so when EA say that the PS4/next-box will completely outclass the Wii U, rendering it effectively a 7th gen console.

That is not my point though. Ofcource it is a better plan to release a game to 140mill+ than to release it to 3 mill. But many of the games that EA have relesed were not good ports, actually worse than on other consoles, they costed more, people also needed to buy a console and so on and so forth.

What I said is part of your point though...

The ports cost a lot to do and are difficult thanks to the CPU. Now that wouldn't be an issue if there were 1.5 billion users, or going to be that amount of users. But there's not and there will never be. There's only 3 million, ergo publishing on the Wii U is not a profitable exercise.
