There was a time EA ignored Nintendo back in NES/SNES days... meh Nintendo will be fine. EA will come around in 2014 after Wii U is well over 10m sold and rest of next-gen is less than 1/2 that.

Im sure in 2014 the combined total of the PS4 and next xbox will be that or greater than the Wii U, plus they still have the PS360 to fall back on...nice try though


he thinks nintendo is going to sell over 7 mil wii u in the next 8 months. as of right now they are in line tosell another 500k in the next 4 months. i think its impossible to reach ten mil. i think nintendo is scaling back production and retailers will be conservative with their orders. superchunk is banking on big games to launch the wii u. that might happen but if it does i can see nintendo running into shortages and not keeping up with demand instead of massive sale (which needs to be the case to reach 10mil). 

He also think there was a time when EA ignored Nintendo when you have games like desert strike which was arguably one of the top games to be released on the SNES

Only because investors went apeshit and Trip Hawkins was forced out.

Outside a couple of genesis and PC centric games, EA supported the SNES the same as other consoles at the time.  The majority of its highest sellers were on the platform including the strike games, nba Live, NHL and Madden.  Dont know how thats ignoring a system.
