I haven't made any such rants, so maybe my opinion is a little less significant, but I do have a problem with a big show claiming a strong partnership with unprecedented support and then nothing but excuses to follow. I don't like companies that treat me like an idiot, or someone who writes a check that their ass CAN cash, but just won't. On a more personal note, it annoys me that precursor games is using CryEngine 3, which I wanna say is owned by EA, to run shadow of the eternals and they have nothing announced (to my knowledge) for wii-u.

To my knowledge, CryEngine is actually owned by CryTek, much like how Epic owns Unreal, while both companies usually get bigger companies to publish actual games that they put out.

Or maybe people just hate EA.

ahh, I was thinking ea bought crytek. my mistake

why is this the case cause capcom is support the PS3 and will support the PS4

I sincerely hope you aren't referring to my article, and the thread containing it when you came up with this thread.

I haven't been remotely interested in an EA game, regardless of platform since Mass Effect 3. I even bought that a bit begrudgingly. I own all 3 consoles and plan on getting a PS4, we'll see about the next Xbox, but I haven't enjoyed an EA game in a long time so not having those games on any platform wouldn't bother me. It's the lack of professionalism all around that gets to me.

As has been mentioned already, the situations aren't all that similar. Sega killed off two consoles before the Dreamcast and had their own sports franchises that some would argue were better than EA's. Sure the lack of EA support didn't help, but it wasn't an overall deciding factor. Sega's mismanagement was.

EA's hand might even be forced when it comes to Star Wars and some of the sports titles on Wii U, depending on the contracts regarding exclusivity. I really don't like sports games and don't really see the point to them honestly. If I'm going to play a sport.....I'll do it for real, they just aren't my thing. I've bought around 2 NCAA titles, played through a season....and never touched them again. It's not even like I am actively boycotting EA or anything either. The games genuinely don't interest me.

Even if the console fails, Nintendo will still be around. It's not like if they pulled the plug on the Wii U tomorrow, Nintendo goes under. They managed to profit on the Gamecube for crying out loud, they'll ride out the storm. While I'd like for there to be a Just Cause or for Evil Within to come to the Wii U (if they did, that would be the console I buy them on even) but since it seems unlikely, it's no skin off my back. I'll just get those on the PS4 if that's the only place they are available.

That's a great answer.  

I was under the notion that Capcom killed Vita in Japan without Monster Hunter and all that biz.

seriously if they seriously have that mindset then those the sony is fanbase is probably the dumbest fanbase ever cause Wii U has monster hunter and the console is struggling in sells 

I'm of the mind that madden 2000 was a system seller. Madden 2013 is not. Back then there was a novelty to having a shiny helmet. I don't like ea for many reasons. The biggest of which is all of there games except amalur have been a disappointment. I really don't like their games (99.9%). I think they are as shady as they come to. They held sega hostage in 2000 and I'm willing to bet they did the same with Nintendo. When they see a company in the herd with a wounded knee they will rape kill and eat it for the fun. They are the equivalent of date rape in the industry.
