Yup and I just explained that they did the same thing with PS3 and Xbox 360, except that FIFA 13 on WiiU is much better than FIFA 06 on 360, Madden NFL 13 is also better than Madden NFL 06, NFS Most Wanted on WiiU is better than NFS Carbon on PS3 (which also came out later as I already pointed out).

And while Mass Effect 3 had an unfortunate timing on WiiU, you can't really blame them for charging full price for it (though they should've included the DLCs) or that they didn't port the whole trilogy.
Mass Effect trilogy on WiiU would have involved porting all three games, which means 3 times the investment and 3 times the development time (or getting more people that are working on other projects to the WiiU project). Which also means that it needs to sell 3 times as much as ME3 alone to break even.

They already worked with PS3 and 360 though, so they know the architecture. If the engine is then not working well by just dropping it on another platform (WiiU) then it's obvious that it needs more work (and thus a higher investment) than on other platforms.

EA is sabotaging all platforms equally. Their efforts were incredibly poor on 360 and they still sold enough copies to make sequel after sequel (so it paid off in the end). PS3 versions at the time were in 90% of all cases the inferior versions.

FIFA 13 on WiiU is still an awesome game, even if it's closer to FIFA 12 (which is an awesome game by itself). Compare that to the shittyness of FIFA 06 on 360 (Europe sales are missing by the way. it was easily at 400k before the bug took the sales away). Same case with Madden.

NFS Carbon sold over a million on PS3 even though it was a late port. Most Wanted on WiiU is selling well below Carbon week after week.

Battlefield 2 Modern Combat is the inferior console spin-off to Battlefield 2 (which the 360 would be able to run in theory) and it came out 6 months after the launch of the last gen consoles and still sold well on 360.

of course the idiots are best costumers, the 3rd parties know this quite well, they build their success upon this foundation, and those are not isolated examples, the success of CoD:Declassified on Vita is another.

the core Nintendo fans are far more critical, they don't eat every scrap the publishers throw at them just because it's cool, my suspicion about the 16-35 year old male demography are correct.

One reason for that is because we're used to games at a Nintendo standard, as in, polished with no bugs, I can't remember the last time I found a bug in aNintendo game, but I sure as hell can remember the recent bugs that I've found in non-nintendo games 

I don't see much correlation between effort and sales when it comes to ports on Nintendo platforms to be honest. Black Ops 2 didn't sell all that great on the Wii U and it was a pretty good port.

Nintendo consoles simply don't benefit much from ports, even during the GameCube days, EA games would generally worse on the GCN even when Nintendo added Mario characters into them and you had the GCN logo at the end of EA TV commercials.

It's a demographic problem -- EA's main demographic are men age 12/13-35, especially sports fans. And that demographic simply has never been a strength for Nintendo.

pretty much this, but some may never want to admit that.

how those games compare to 7 year old titles is irrelevant, wii u versions were inferior than the ones on other platforms.

And in case you didn't notice, the trilogy was already in development so it's not about "porting 3 games to every platform". they should just port what they had on other consoles. Mass effect 3 wasn't poor timing, it was a complete disrespect to the consumers.
