OT this is one of the things that pissed me off about WIi those games should have been a forgone conclusion. Hell the first thing i thought about when i saw Wii was "wow Mario Tennis is gonna be the shit" and dont tell me no crap about the new play mechanic garbage. That was a lazy effort at best and was even worst than the original version. Golf and Tennis would have been perfect for a WIimote and we got a soccer game! And Sports mix? What the hell was that?

Sorry to come across as crazy but i was really looking forward to those. But at least EA(of all companies) put out Grand Slam Tennis and it was actually good, crap graphics and all. That eased the pain... a bit.

Oh and if they put either of those series on Wii U, im buying the system used out of spite


The EA Tiger woods games are also pretty damn good on the Wii, perhaps there was a deal cut with Nintendo not to release their branded sports games in exchange for extra EA support. Doubtful but you never know.

Ive heard, but i dont think for second that EA had anything to do with Ninty, well screwing up, thats what it comes down too, not putting games on the system is screwing up IMHO. THere is nothing that would benefit EA or Ninty in that deal. EA games generally did better on the othere systems especially sports games. ninty could make more by actually making their own games. hell the Grand Slam sequel wastn even released on Wii...or WIi U

Those 2 yearly outings of Tiger woods sold most copies on the wii, doubling most other systems and the 09 version on the wii seems to be miles ahead also but it had a slight different name than on the 360/ps3 but yeah those games had little real competition on wii so they did sell incredibly well, especially when you consider the obvious less amount of effort needing to go into porting it to a non hd system.

so thats 2 years out of six? im sorry but that still tells me that the hd versions sold more in general.


09 was also far more on the wii like I said but the wii version is called tiger woods 09 all stars and the hd versions aren't called that so a link is harder.

2011 sold more on the ps3 but the wii beat out the Xbox360 version.

2007 all consoles were within 10k of each other.

You might think that these games sold very little on the Wii, but just type "tiger woods" into the search bar at the top and you can see EA cleaned up with the Wii versions of the game.


i never said it sold very little, that was the only EA sports series that seemed to do ok, im just saying it was still outsold by HDs, but thats still no substitue for Mario Golf as those two series play very differently. Thats like saying hey we're not giving you SF4 but take Tvs.C
