i think nintendo fans need to fucking deal with it or buy a ps3 or 360 if they want to play the games. Its getting boring this bitching about EA. Like EA is the only fucking reason WiiiU is selling like shit.

What I find funny, is that.. the people who constantly bitch and moan about EA are also the ones contributing to the dire third party situation for the Wii U.. by not buying their games.

This argument is really stupid. Various Wii U users on this site bought NFS: MW for the system, because Criterion did a great job with the port and they deserved the sale, but the rest have been crappy ports (FIFA and Madden) or simple not worth the money (Mass Effect 3).

Also, you realize that the people that bitch about EA are a very few local minority on gaming forums right? If those games didn't sell is because of bad marketing and the install base of the Wii U. Out of all EA games on the Wii U so far only NFS: MW got 1 ad (which was really bad), and who knows if it even aired on TV (only saw it on youtube), EA is to blame for that one.

Most Wii U owners out there don't care or even know about EA, so those people are not to blame for the sales of the games either.

Yet it sold like crap.

And yes, I was talking about the small vocal minority on these types of forums. The same individuals who keep spouting the same irrational hate for the company just to spite them. To the rest of your paragraph, that just sounds like NIntendo are equally the ones to blame there.

"Most Wii U owners out there don't care or even know about EA, so those people are not to blame for the sales of the games either."

Nintendo's marketing department.

And that's the point, those people don't even matter because even if all of them buy the game it won't change the totals by anything significant. 

Why is Nintendo's marketing department responsible for selling EA games or even knowing the company? That's the job of EA's marketing department. 

All sales count in the end. I just find it hugely ironic that Nintendo fans put the blame on EA for not supporting the console, when Wii U owners are just snubbing off the games in favour of Nintendo ones.

And the reason why I said that is because Nintendo promised you guys great third party support, yet their marketing says otherwise. I don't see any Wii U adverts advertising huge franchises like Fifa or any other third party games and why I should buy that over the PS3 or 360 versions of the game.
