I'd be inclined to agree, but actions speak louder than words, so...

Apparently someones source from EA said nintendo were dead to them, so now he is saying dont trust anonymous sources.

EA have like 1000's of employees. Their official stance may be to never badmouth Nintendo, but the moment they're off record they do nothing but badmouth Nintendo.

First response to his tweet:



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

An anonymous EA source stated that Nintendo is to die a horrible slow death first shifting their resources back to its old roots in supplying a cheap taxi company, a love hotel chain, and instant noodles while utilizing their flagship characters in their products.

EA further claims before the shift take place, they will purchase Nintendo just to simply get rid of the imcompetent Iwata, and the puppet that is Reggie. Miyamoto is cool, though. He created Zelda.

Sony's God, and Micro§oft is a Pimp. Something along that line.

Man, EA keeps on going back and forth with their statements but at the end of the day, they have stopped supporting Nintendo so it may as well be as good as dead to them

I will never understand why they stopped all together, if they reduced the support it will make sense, since their all purpouse engine (frostbyte)  has not been ported to the console. But why not keep producing FIFA and Madden games? those engines were already in place, the teams had more time and those would be the only soccer and football games for the console. Yes the market is small, but is growing and they could do decent numbers for a port.

Peter Moore is the same moron who thinks everything is fine and dandy at EA. This guy is full of shit, might as well be working for the us government.
