EA's engines were already tailored for the PS360 and moving the games and engine(s) to PS4/720 is a non-issue since they are basic x86 setups. So (1) version of the engine supports PS360 while the other version supports PS4/720/PC.
WiiU on the other hand is custom hardware, so they do not see the worth for investing time and money into developing a new version of their engines for just (1) console.
That is the reality of the situation. It is not their jobs to make sure it runs on WiiU. It is their job to make money and judging by WiiU sales, the money won't be made there.
People hate to hear this, but it's the truth. Want those games? Buy a different console.

We've run over this one before. It's not about wanting the games, it's about wanting EA to man up and stop being a bunch of babies.
|
And EA's goal is to make money.
The problem here is that people are thinking that EA's decision was some kind of emotional decision, rather than giving them the doubt that EA made a business decision.

Because EA has a history of not trying to sabotage and destroy consoles just to satisfy their overblown egos?

Don't know what you're talking about. Whatever examples you bring up, management has changed over history and we're talking about EA's decision now.
How many hours did you spend analyzing whether it would be a good business decision to port over games to the WiiU? What's the breakup of the WiiU's owners? What do you project their lifetime sales to be? How much will porting the games cost? What are the margins going to be?
You have absolutely no fucking idea whether or not EA made a good business decision or not, let alone if they even made a business decision. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
