EA Sports Engineer: Wii U is crap, less powerful than 360. No money for 3rd parties.

Feels kinda like the whole industry is sitting together trying to take their best swing to get Nintendo out of the market.

No, only EA. 3rd-parties are usually not happy with their sales on Nintendo-platforms and WiiU has a small userbase in addition, so it's fully understandable they are reluctant to put their expensive projects on WiiU, but only EA behaves this way. Look Activision in comparison: support may not be great, but they don't act like EA. To be fair it has to be noted, that Capcom tries the same with the Vita.

 

It's not only EA and I am not talking only about development side either. Look at today alone. The press unleashed a barrage of negative opinion pieces at the sime time the Nintendo Direct was taking place. At the GI.biz article, the first few comments were all employees there like editors and directors, high fiving themselves for a job well done and sitting back, waiting "for the haters" to roll in. Is this professional? Also, there were other developers who had words for the Wii U that you are normally not used from "professionals". But I guess there are a couple of Phil Fish people out there and not just one.

 

I guess slamming Nintendo as hard and harsh as possible is just the current trend in the cool kids club.
