Still that wasn't about it being Switch or WiiU, but about EA hating Nintendo and just releasing because they were mandated.

Yes, it probably sold enough to be a profitable port even if just being a lot lower than PS4/X1. Fifa was mentioned on OP and NBA2K is also released by EA.

Yes sure, EA doesn't launch a game on Switch because they want to lose money and love crappy decisions.

NBA2K is developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K Games/2K Sports, not EA.

EA had 3 games released on Launch day (Day 1) for both Xbox One and PS4.  EA has released 1 game on Switch in 15 months.  But, tell me again how EA didn't bet against the Switch being successful.  Also, you don't win "Worst Company in America" awards by making "good business decisions".

The "worst company in America" isn't decided on "good business decisions" it's decided on customer perception. Their earnings is what shows their business decision.

EA bet they wouldn't have big returns on Switch, considering how much lower Fifa in Switch done compared to others they weren't wrong for the first 12 months. And still they are releasing 2019 expecting higher sales.

The OP calling up Fifa and my memory of NBA being attached with EA because of strict contracts played a trick on me for NBA2K.
