EA currently has NX dev kits, Nintendo and EA having multiple meetings in March to decide if they will support the NX

I would have hoped they made this agreement already... but the idea that EA had NX dev kits early on is very promising

EA's done the work to explain to Nintendo why the WiiU didn't reach their audience. Say what you will about everything else that went wrong with the WiiU, the people who buy EA sports games are sports fans -- and the Nintendo did very little to win that crowd over in terms of marketing.

What encourages me is the massive success the Pokemon commercial got this Super Bowl. Evidently it was the most-watched ad. I think Nintendo is awakening to strength of their entire brand if they leverage sporting events in their marketing.
