And what exactly have they made for Nintendo-consoles to deserve sales, the gimped version of Mass Effect 3, the reskinned version of FIFA, the reskinned version of Madden or the 4 months late port of Need For Speed

You are a shining example of the logic third parties use.

1) Don't support Nintendo products with anything meaningful

2) Don't get any meaningful returns

3) Make it seem like its the platform's fault

Yes, EA's utter failure to publish a successful game on a Nintendo console is clearly Nintendo's fault.

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

The port of need for speed was actually improved by criterion for the wii u version though.

All EA titles past year on 3DS vs Vita ones.

So it does look like Vita titles do better.

Or... it's because of the shitty support they give Nintendo products. $60 for Mass Effect 3 a year after it came out? Trick, please.

They didn't release any PSP games last quarter. So the Vita had more profit than all of Nintendo consoles combined.

I don't remember any games for the 3DS from EA this quarter. On the WiiU we had two incredibly bad ports which were a few months late...of course they didn't sell. So basically the Vita ports outsold the WiiU ports. Incredible, the console with the bigger userbase had more sales...
