Should EA continue to ignore Nintendo?

However, EA see's the PS4, X1 and PC markets as a much more worthwhile place to invest time and money in. If they were to put their games on Nintendo systems, it would take the same amount of resources as the other systems, with a much lesser reward.

Not If NX has a similar architecture as PS4 and X1. It would be easier and cheap to port the games. There would be no reasons for EA not to bring their games to nintendo's console. However if NX is a complete different type of console, then nintendo won't have EA, Ubisoft or activison support in the near future. 

You said quite a few 'if's. First of all, there is no guarantee that the NX will have similar architecture to the PS4/X1, you never know what Nintendo will pick. Secondly, right now I'm talking about the Wii U, which is not of a similar architecture, has a low install-base and a history of AAA games not selling well. Do you think taking all those things into consideration EA is gonna put the resoucres and effort into porting those big games to the Wii U? Of course not, they would be losing money. But yeah, in the unfortunate case the NX is different to the PS4 and X1 in architecture, then Nintendo would have to rely on it selling big, while being powerful enough to handle those games.
