What about Vita then? They still make FIFA for that. They are so contradictory!

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

You mean a handful of overpriced, shitty ports of Wii titles didn't create a massive WiiU fanbase?

Bull shit. All the way around. Here's an excellent article on the subject.

http://www.superphillipcentral.com/2013/07/time-to-call-ea-out-on-their-stance.html

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

That begs the question, why support the X1 and the PS4 with an install base of 0? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait for those install bases to grow? I guess this is where Sony and MS money come in

they are supporting those systems because it is expected that ps360 gamers will migrate to those new systems, that just makes sense as thats how console gaming has always worked. Who is migrating to WIi U? Its not the pS360 owners as its not that different from what they have already been playing. its not the blue ocean market that bought the hell out of Wii. The sales prove that. However EA is full of it if they think they had a strong launch titles

I would prefer if they just kept their games off Nintendo's platforms and leave Nintendo alone once and for all. Their games suck on Nintendo platforms(bar 1 exception out of 50) and just leech off Nintendo's success. I'd prefer they just left.

@Arius Dion. I commented on the excellent article you linked to.
