it all seemed believable until this part.

"according to sources within EA, this is actually seen as something of an insult, and the company will be asking Nintendo to consider shipping NX consoles with leading EA Sports titles, such as FIFA and Madden."

This is business, not a personal fucking relationship, who ever wrote that line seemed to push it to much in order to get hits, so this reeks of bullshit to me. and if this is true, EA's "demands" are just logical requests for nintnedo, and they should get their heads out of their asses and do this, as this is something they should have been doing for years now.

It's not that easy. I think Nintendo has their reasons, and one of them could be that they would be promoting games that will sell like hotcakes on other consoles, and I'm not sure if they're going to be a big deal for the NX. It's always better than nothing, obviously, but it could be shooting themselves in the foot. Though I agree it's time they take the risk and see what happens. 

by not doing that they have lost a massive demographic to Sony and MS. one that is very very hard to get back now. because those CoD, madden and Fifa gamers, those more "casual" crowd, already have their console of choice. and games like mario and zelda wont draw any of them to Nintendo.

 

if nintendo goes on and spends big bucks on marketing, it wont make much of a difference, if any, at least at first. but with not doing anything they lost 100% of that demographic, so they gotta start now and try get some of it, even if it wont be worth it in the short term. basically nintendo put them selfs in this position by not working with third party publishers in the past, and not catering to this certain demographic, which now proves to be vital for success.
