DICE's Johan Andersson confirmed that the company had tested Frostbite 2 on the Wii U, and wasn't impressed with the results — which means that Frostbite 3 hasn't even been ported to Wii U. The EAmpire Strikes Back.
This, as most of you probably know, is pure BS. If it doesn't work right away, make it work. Don't just whine about it. Making it work is your job. Since Frostbite 3 will be hitting PS3 and X360, hardware can't be the limiting factor on Wii U. The real problems here are ideological stubbornness, bigotry and ugly malevolence. EA has come pretty low when most of use sure believed they couldn't sink any lower.
But is there A New Hope? What if Disney forces EA to put their games on all platforms in order to maintain a relationship with all companies. If Disney forces EA to also make their Star Wars games on Wii U, then EA will have to fit Frostbite 3 on the Wii U. This means that if Wii U sales increase and the console already has Frostbite 3 because of Disney, then we might see other EA games on the console.
Is this a possibility? What do you guys think?

...or, it's just not worth their time and resources to develop games for a userbase of 3 million.
As for your topic, why would Disney force EA to develop games for the Wii U? What do you mean by "to maintain a relationship with all companies"?

a userbase of 3 million and potential market
its like saying why invest on ps4 and the next box since their current userbase is zero...
|
You're right, 3 million is a potential market. But EA doesn't have unlimited resources (and in fact, they just cut 10% of their workforce), so it would make more sense for them to focus their efforts on the market of 140 million users (PS3+360).
|
3 million AND potential market...
im sorr but you think wii u will sell 3 million in its lifetime? or you just missed how "AND" and "IS A" are two different things????
|
I never said it was going to sell 3 million lifetime. It's 3 million right now, and showing slow growth. We will probably see a user base of 5 million by the end of the year. That's still a small market compared to the 140M users in the 360+PS3 market.
|
well its not just userbase sometimes.... it is also opening new market.
if userbase is the only basis they should also port it to iphone and android. which probably exceeds 140M users.
it is true that they will most likely focus on the ps360, but there is still a chance that they will be doing it for the wii u esp if the numbers starts expanding (most likely japanese market)
