Nintendo refused Origin. That's my only guess.

Yes, that is all about it.

Or maybe big games like CoD/ME/AC all bombed on the WiiU and the preorders of NFS are non existent?

I mean we can blame the lack of Origin support as much as we want, but when will we start blaming the atrocious sales of 3rd party games?

While this might be true, the game was pretty much ready to launch, so it sounds to me that the losses have already been made and even if the WiiU version sold poorly they could've reduced the losses a tiny bit.

Maybe the cost of finishing the game and publishing it would have been to high to justify the release? I mean we are looking at sales that would have probabaly been under 100k LT, and the majority would have come from bargain bin sales.

Maybe EA much rather focused that money on advertising the PC/360/PS3, and by the looks of it, the game will do decent numbers.
