I for one would have bought it for the Wii u, but since it was missing the physics engine (what madden fans have been crying about for yrs), I had to get the 360 version (barf) instead.  When the ultimate version comes out for Wii U with local 2 tablet support, I will buy in.

At launch it is pretty horrible.  For example, NSMBU has an attach rate of 59% so far.  For a PS3/360 game to reach a similar number the game would have to sell around 43 million copies (that's just on one platform).  Attach rates will always be higher near launch.  Also keep in mind that 9 weeks doesn't include the holiday season for the PS3 and 360 versions which both almost doubled.  That has brought the PS3 up to 6.5% and the 360 up to 5.0%.  It is very likely they are also undertracked.  The charts that Nintendo released has the 360 as the 5th best selling game in the US and the PS3 version at number 7.  Compared to VGC which has them at 7 and 13 respectively.

That won't happen. Those consoles could sell bad at launch and still third parties will support them. Eventually with the third and first party offers both libraries will look very good. Just like 360 and PS3.

EA has their reasons to hate Nintendo... they just need to come up with them before they can tell us. Be patient people!

One would probably say the ability to log into another NN account on your Wii U

The selling point for Madden 13 was the new physics engine, which the Wii U version doesn't have. It is also extremly buggy, and very prone to crashing. I should know, I own it.

If I've been making excuses or blaming EA for Madden's poor sales on Wii U then I've gotten sidetracked.

If Madden 25 doesn't have a full-featured, simultaneous release for Wii U, then I'll have something to blame EA for. If they try to use Madden 13's poor sales to justify backing away from Wii U in any way, then I'll have something to blame EA for.

People buy consoles for software. The only compelling software available for Wii U at launch (or even to this day) was Mario and Nintendo Land, and to a much lesser extent, ZombiU. Almost everything else was a late port or multiplat game, an inferior port or multiplat game, or flat-out shovelware -- or some combination of the three.

Don't get me wrong, several of the Wii U's launch titles were very good games -- Sonic Racing, BLOPS2, ACIII. They are very much worth buying if you have a Wii U, but there is no point buying a Wii U for those games if you already own a PS3 or 360. With combined PS3 and 360 lifetime hardware sales around 150 million, most gamers probably own one or both of them by this point.

Knowing that Madden 13 is vastly inferior on Wii U, there is absolutely no reason to buy it for that console if you own a PS3 or 360. The launch versions of Madden for PS3 and 360 may have been "missing features," but with HD compatibility at the very least, I doubt they were as obviously inferior as the Wii U version, and Madden in HD could certainly have swayed a few people to buy a 360.

What? I'm drunk again but that don't make sense... maybe tomorrow I can understand.

EA was one of the first 3rd Party developers to get Wii U development kits. Yet Madden for Wii U only had 6 months of development time. ME3 for Wii U has no DLC support and was released for $60 two weeks after the entire trilogy launched for $60 on PS3, PC, and 360. I'm not saying they purposely sabotaged their WIi efforts, but given their actions you could make a good case.

Definitely not. To trust your online store and online features to a 3rd party would be insanity.
