At this point I'm assuming Need for Speed slipped through their fingers without EA realizing and landed on WiiU.

Don't care about EA anyway. I'll buy Need for Speed when it's cheap, I'll support good third party games but I won't support EA anymore. Ubisoft and Capcom however are very welcome!

LOL at this. NFS probably didn't slip through their fingers, that would be really bad management. (The real reason the CEO had to go?)

I think it has to with the name of the game. If the dev can give the game the subtitle 'a Criterion game', they have a position inside of EA, that allows them to make their own decisions to a degree. I think that is the reason we see a really good port of NFS for WiiU.

Obviously I know this .

Don't know about the 'power' of Criterion within EA though.

This was already discussed when the NFS port details started coming out.

Criterion was delegated full control on the series. Source
