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.

There is a fair bit of research suggesting that the threshold for profitability on a quick port is quite low. Now, EA hasn't been hitting their targets, but they certainly could with a second round of Wii U software if they had shown that they at all gave a damn about Wii U owners with the first. And with a userbase cultivated, they could then have at least an easy port-box for the next five years.

Instead, due to their severe butthurt, they cripple themselves.
