Forums - Nintendo - What are EA thinking?

We all know what EA have been doing lately, so I'll try to not sound like a broken record here. To me, it seems like they are burning down every single bridge there is. The guy who came out and said the Wii U was crap also said that it was less powerfull than the 360. In other words, the asshat doesn't have know what he is talking about.

But the thing that makes it feel alarming to me is that they simply don't care anymore. Bad business move if you ask me. Even if you don't like 'em you don't have to punch them in the face. Cause they might just punch harder back, even though it might take a while before that happends.

And I want to add one more thing. The guy that decided to use twitters full potential yesterday was actually a developer of FIFA. I must say the things he said was quite amusing in that context.

That guy has probably got the sack and won't work in the industry again.

As for EA their hissy fit will end before the end of the year when shareholders demand that the publisher doesn't ignore a console that's going to be the market leader for a while. By the end of this year I'm expecting the Wii U to have an installed userbase over 10m, and the PS4 and 720 lucky to have an installed userbase of 2m each at the most. It's going to take years for the PS4 and 720 to close that gap, if they manage to do it before the Wii 3 arrives at all.



I think the wii sports series scared the shit out of them, Nintendo can´t be allowed to suceed in the sports department since it´s EA´s backbone.

Sure.



Wouldn't the problem be a lack of thinking?

Over 10m is quite ambitious, considering they will have to compete with PS4 and 720 on top of a possible cheaper 360 and PS3 with a new entry in their biggest franchise. And for PS4 and 720 to get more support, they only have to reach the Wii U total combined as they are (rumoured to be) very similar systems.
