Look at what they put on Wii U, though. Gimped, overpriced versions of old games. The kind of stuff you throw together just to have some sort of presence at launch. They could not have reasonably expected that garbage to shift many units, so I don't believe they're basing this on poor sales of their own software. I might believe they're basing it on the overall negativity about the Wii U, but it seems more likely to me that something happened between the two that caused them to get sideways with each other. This is like EA vs. Sega all over again, but that was because EA had reservations about Sega's choice of hardware and just flat out refused to put anything on the Dreamcast at all. This situation is something that seemed to develop after the Wii U launched. |
I wouldn't consider NFS w/ PC textures the gimped version. It's just a fact that people aren't buying their games, regardless of quality. And this goes for other 3rd party devs/publishers besides EA, too. While those 3rd parties aren't saying anything, yet, with the little sales that their games are getting, I would imagine we will see 3rd party support for the Wii U dwindle.
