IMO what we can say for sure is that things like these never have just one side, and decisions are made by more factors: Nintendos deteriorating relationship with EA (Origin issues or not), bad financial performance of previosu WiiU titles, not enough dev/advertising muscle left for a 4th editiion etc. People are jumping at EAs trotha for not supporting the WiiU, but it looks like Origin could have been a better idea for online integration. It is better to get ports, than no games at all. |
If you want to say that quote means nothing, then we can say nobody's quotes mean nothing at all unless they show something. That quote comes directly from someone who worked with the game.
The guy would have had nothing to lose if he said it was about how the Wii U was selling, Nintendo's lack of support for the Wii U or whatever. The fact that a vague statement about relations between EA and Nintendo were brought up definitely means a lot. It isn't quite the best response to make as it is also a hit at EA no matter how you look at it. How big of one depends on who it is reading it.
