Good luck with your boycott, because something tells me that Electronic Arts isn't going to take notice. Can you refuse a sale that wasn't even offered. I have to however applaud you for supporting your platform. If only more Wii U owners did the same, and their predecessor the Wii owners had done the same. This could have, and probably would have been avoided. At the end of the day Electronic Arts couldn't continue selling what players weren't buying. I highly doubt the Origen rumor myself, and you should remind yourself it is just a rumor, and could very well have been made up by a hoaxer.
Even if it were true that Electronic Arts had made a conditional offer to Nintendo. That offer would have had to have been made and ultimately rejected. Early in the development cycle for the games that did make it to the console for its launch. It does seem counter intuitive when you think about it for just a moment. If I am pissed off at someone, and don't intend to have anything to do with them moving forward. I wouldn't first do them a few favors, and then call it quits. I think it is far more likely that Elelctronic Arts never had high expectations for the console, and those early sales confirmed their opinion.
None of that mind you requires a rejected origin offer. There are a lot of developers that look unfavorable on the console not only for what it is, but who is at the helm. Nintendo did, and typically does. A rather awful job of creating consoles that suit the needs of third parties. Which Nintendo effectively treats as if they were competitors. Rather then the partners they should be treated as. Think about it for a moment. How many people are actually happy with the consoles design, capabilities, or operating system. The answer is not that many at all, and we are talking about gamers who don't have to make a living off of the device.
If we are at best apathetic about the machine, and more often not loathsome of it. Then what chance is there really for developers to be excited by it, or even its future prospects. Nintendo is just a bad partner delivering a bad product, and that is one bad thing too many. They have done so in the past. So it isn't like it is somehow unprecedented.
