I'd actually say that it's more convincing that they're being reasonable. Let's be honest - the "unprecedented partnership" claim never really made sense, as EA was never likely to give Nintendo any notable exclusives or special treatment. It was basically them wanting to be the ones running the online store, which was never going to happen.
EA are probably going to take the same approach with NX as they did with Wii U - port some easy, lacklustre titles across as a "test", and if the system does well enough, and people buy their crap, they'll do more lacklustre ports. And if the system doesn't do well enough, or people buying NX don't buy the weak ports because they're inferior, EA will call it proof of no market and stop supporting it.
But the fact that they're not talking big suggests that they're not going to try to make grandiose claims that bite them in the arse. So at least they'll be a little more honest about their approach, this time.
