It's not only about porting, but also having the market to sell. I'm expecting better 3rd party support, but some games won't come to Wii U as the developers will believe there's no market for it.

I agree, and that's a reasoning that makes them lose money.

If Call of Duty could sell 1 mil. on the Wii, they could have sold 2 mil. of another high quality FPS on the same console, not only because there was an audience for it, but also because there was much less competence than in the Xbox and PS3 for those gamers.

Please excuse my bad English.

I'm more interested why we haven't seen the other EA games that are releasing this year announced for the Wii U.
