"It's so integral to what we do. They're so small it's hardly worth running the servers. It seems like a box that's out of sync with the future of EA - which is one that gives a real social feel to our games. The Wii U feels like an offline experience right now." |
This statement is to be expected, since EA's major beef with Nintendo is that Nintendo rejected EA taking over their entire online infrustructure. I find it annoying when people say WiiU lacks online. It's got eShop, free online matchmaking, netflix, browsing and Miiverse. What more is needed?
