Hmm. I get the feeling people genuinley don't understand how companies think these days.
People seem to think aslong as a big company profits they are fine. Why not release games on Wii U, they would still turn a profit even with just few sales. Why cancel Dead Space why not do stuff that turns a profit even if its small, a profit is a profit afterall.
Whats the job of a CEO ? Keeping the Stockholders happy and make them money. But how do they do that ? By turning a profit efficently. Getting the most for the least possible amount of work. Big Companies don't like to waste their human assets time by working on less profitable projects. They won't use their time to do anything at all that makes less profit than other things they could be doing. Porting games to Wii U is an investment for the bigger companies atm even if they get a guaranteed profit by doing it.
Even outsourcing a port doesn't work if the profit is not big enough to waste a skilled studios time.
The only way for Nintendo to get ports right now would be if they port it for free and give the profits to the IP holder. But they can work on more profitable stuff too. EAs unprecedented partnership was probably said with much bigger sales in mind.
