EA is not committed to Switch, they don't understand the Switch market yet.

The NES never had a monopoly.

In the 1980s Electronic Arts made games for Apple II, TRS-80, Atari 400, Atari 800, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, PC-88, PC-98, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST,  MS-DOS, Macintosh, Sega Genesis... and yes, even NES.

I meant console gaming. However you are right if we talk about the entire gaming industry. I just know that EA hated the NES with a burning passion and they only made games on it because investors told them they had to.  This will probably happen again with the Switch.

Why should there have been hate with passion? NES was just another platform for EA and until the 1990s their focus was on home computers, not consoles.

In the early 1990s they expanded to consoles, which included the NES and SNES, and before that they licensed some ports to NES (f.e. Skate or Die & Ski or Die). The NES even got an exclusive in 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skate_or_Die_2:_The_Search_for_Double_Trouble
