Ive played COD on the Wii U, the pro is better imho. As for you wanting to play a Mass Effect game on a Nintendo console, thats no longer Nintendos problem if the next consoles break past the specs demanded of them which its coming clearer now that they most definitely will. Nintendo will be mostly existing off of exclusives much like the original Wii.

Its EA, you are not missing much.

And dude...I was hoping the title was real and had videos :(

That is a pretty weak counter argument. Hostages do not make for good witnesses, and neither do salesman. These people aren't in any kind of position to offer up a contrary point of view. Given that their games sales can suffer as a result. The platform holder can withdraw their game from their store. The platforms fans can withhold purchasing the game, and they are making a pitch through a fundamentally bias media outlet. If they hadn't said only things that made the platform look good.

They would have suffered severe consequences for doing so. The site might have written a scathing review of all of their products, of them as a developer, and encouraged its audience to not buy their products. Not to mention that Nintendo might well concoct a excuse to pull their game from their lineup. That isn't to say that you cannot get more genuine commentary, but that comes from people that either don't have anything to lose, or are just plain big enough that they cannot be intimidated.

Which are two categories that most independent developers do not fall into. They are basically weak and helpless in this situation. You know what else I don't trust. Those actors that give color commentary during sneak peaks of movies that they are actually play a role in. I don't believe them when they say the director is a genius, or that the story is the best ever told, or that their fellow actors are genuinely great human beings.

How many horrible movies have we all seen in our lives. That these people told us were pure gold. It is obvious why they would say so, because it helps their careers, and helps them make more money, but once they have all of that. Well that is when you start to get actual honesty out of them. That is when you find out that so and so was just plain coked out of his mind, or that they were fucking miserable the whole time they made that movie.

Once again no proof whatsoever, and for the love of all that is holy. Don't use Nintendo Life as a source. I mean I wouldn't trust any media outlet that has a manufacturers name as part of theirs. After all their own success is just plain entirely tied to the success of the platform. So they have every incentive in the world to over sell everything about the product, and downplay every negative.

Yes, EA is irrelevant, the publisher/dev that puts out 20% of the top third party games coming out each year. I would love for you guys to boycott Ubisoft as well when down the road Nintendo owners bitch about not getting multiplats when they know its a specs issue.

Well, it's a good thing it's the company I despise the very most who does these things, as that means I can shrug it off a little easier. They don't make games I care about anymore. It's trouble for Nintendo though, even if for me, it makes the system MORE attractive that EA opts out.

everyone is defecating on nintendo right now but dont worry, the defecating will migrate to the next new game system that releases. happens all the time.

Or current EA games are not selling on the WiiU and it offers no new market, just lost money and time for devs to produce games for it.

So lets all put away the tin hats and realise that from a financial view, the WiiU is dire to any investor.

Yes, you're are right, the N64-cartridge was a problem for 3rd-parties and Sony had an advantage there. But I understood your previous comment like Nintendo should have released games for all genres to show 3rd-parties how it is done. That's something Sony never did.

Well, and abandoning platforms is especially not bad for EA with the release of yearly franchises. I don't know how bold Sega was going after the marketshares, but it could also be a necessity, after missing 3rd-party efforts to fill the voids for the people that owned the systems. And I agree, that EAs decision to avoid Sega were a problem, but not the deciding thing for the Dreamcast to go south.

FIFA is also by EA and while I'm (also european) not interested in the game, I know it is big here in europe. And EA made the last FIFA a bad port of an older version. If they avoid the WiiU with Tiger Woods and Madden (is that clear or only a rumor so far), they might do the same with FIFA.

Oh, CEOs are humans like everyone else. They might have hates. But if their decisions are bad for the company, they might be not CEO forever.
