Only if that hardware manufacturer shifts a bucket load of units.
Current gen home consoles, not supporting Wii U they have cut out 15% of their potential market. (Much smaller when you include PC). Most of that 15% either already have another platform they can pay Fifa on, or wouldn't be buying Fifa anyway.
So it's nowhere near the sacrifice to EA you make it sound. Hell the Vita ports of Fifa sold better than the Wii and Wii U ones. No loss not supporting hardware your market isn't on.
Now flip that around. Nintendo on the other hand need software to sell hardware. Not having titles like Fifa is an instant deal breaker for EAs audience. Ergo they aren't buying that console to start with. That is Nintendo's loss.
I fail to see how EA have more to lose from this than Nintendo.

Source for the bold part? None? I guessed so. The market isn't there because they don't want to.
As I said before, EA is just one company, and it's games are replaceable.

Front page of vgchartz? (Sorry its currently 18% but steadily dropping)
Couple in users such as myself who will pick the best version (which could potentially be NX if they spec it right) and Nintendo only gamers and I'd say 15% of EAs actual target audience is being overly generous.
