The WiiU had Mass Effect 3, Need For Speed U, Fifa 13. yet look at the numbers. these are financial numbers here, nothing for the press or nothing for marketing. there are two logical places were the numbers for the Wii are, either lumped in with the "Wii" numbers or lumped in with the "other" numbers. if its in the "other" catagory and considering even the PS2 had its own numbers pointed out its safe to say that the WiiU numbers are nothing short of abysmal, thus being lower than the PS2's 2 million sales. so the maximum number of revenue from all 4 nintendo consoles was less than 16 million, again absymal, the numbers speak for them selfs, and this is considering that the sales of these consoles are MUCH higher than the vita's+PSP's.
another thing is that even if we just take the 3DS's numbers with just fifa, with the number of sales the console is having the revenue should have been MUCH higher, yet the vita still manages to outperform it, you know the vita? the console with the really bad sales?
then look at the YoY change for the handheld sections for both platforms. sony handhelds revenue grew by 233% while the nintendo handhelds section only grew by 80% even though the 3DS sales this year were around what? 4 times much the vita's?
the numbers speak for them selfs, there is no emotion in this, no hate, no conspiracy theories, nintendo platforms arent the place for EA to make money, thats why they arent supporting them lately. if you were in EA's place would you support nintendo after looking at these numbers?

Well to be fair, its not like EA is giving their A effort.
Now with that being said, if you are a Wii U owner would you buy those games? Assuming that you ONLY have a Wii U? Im not being difficult i am curious

they certainly havent, but its not like they gave vita their A effort or even B effort either. and thats the thing, they wanted to cash in but they failed miserably (with nintendo consoles) from a money stand point that makes sense not to continue that effort. im honestly not attacking nintendo or WiiU, im simply saying that they can make much more money else where and that is what they are doing.
if i ONLY had a WiiU? i certainly would have bought NFSU as not only the game deserves to be bought but the fact that its the best console version makes it a must buy. and i would have bought fifa because i always play with my brothers that, so being a bit port or what ever wouldnt have mattered. im not interested in mass effect so i wouldnt have bought it, maybe i would have if i was interested in the series. and you are not being difficult dont worry about it

i see where you are coming from but IMHO there are more factors at play. NFS was a late as port even later than the Vita version, later ports rarely do even as good as the first release no matter how much better it is(cant see why some people want to ram that point home) Plus Europe just seems to be Sony land moreso than ninty, the love racing and Fifa so it makes sense to me that Sony platforms even Vita would do better in that area. I dont know what the hell is going on with Madden. I really dont, people want to say that it only "won" cause it is bundled with Vita but thats BS cause thats only in one region and its not like the game did that good either certaintly not AC3:L or COD BOD numbers, ill just chalk it up to football games not being that popular on the system yet.
Thats what i thought, i just find it weird how some people get so upset. Why should it matter if its a late port or not, if thats your only option anyway? Its not like it would make a diffrerence unless they had the system that originally had it, and if they did and choose not to buy it then thats on them. I bought ME2 for my PS3 no problem, never once did i think "i wont buy that because 360 owners had it for a year and its cheaper" If i dont have a 360 it doesnt help me cause i couldnt buy the damn game anyway. strange.
