Working in a big company I know it is true. 

They are about as emotional as a stone - I'm guessing you've never seen contracts being penned etc? Business decisions are made on generally the idea of making money. Now if your best friend can make you money, and some random guy can make you a bit more, your best friend will get the deal as there are unwritten benefits of such a deal. There is no such thing between EA and Nintendo. What you have failed to do, just like all conspriacy theories, is give a reason for why EA would sacrifice profit. 

Frankly I don't care about Nintendo being left out. It doesn't affect me whatsoever, but I hate ignorance and delusion. Even if the decision was made before the launch of the Wii U, how do you know it wasn't on the back of analysts saying (correctly) that the Wii U isn't going to sell quickly to begin with? If so, then their rationale for not supporting the Wii U is spot on. 

A company isn't going to piss away the potential for millions because of a little spat.

 

EA would sacrifice profit because of a meltdown between them and Nintendo. We don't know what caused this therefore actual journalism is needed. Yeah, that's me pointing out a "conspiracy". It's on the same level as UFO sightings or Iluminati taking over the world. Also, it's pretty clear this piece of news gets you pumped up. You're all over it. Why deny it? 

Isn't it pretty ironic that someone who denies businesses are being driven by emotion also denies that they themselves are being driven by emotions even though they clearly are? 

According to whom?! That flies in the face of all business ideas and notions. That makes as much sense as saying 1 in 10 doctors will purposely give you the wrong drugs because they don't like your face...

Here's all the research you need:

Bam. Wii U = not profitable for EA. You clearly have done no research and have no idea how companies are ran. Look above. All the evidence a company needs to know investing in the Wii U may not be for them.
