Forums - Gaming - My Prediction; EA will drop support for the Xbox ONE and re-up support for the Wii U.

All these Wii U > XOne threads need to stop, its not gonna happen. XOne will pass Wii U this year.

Just look at the US sales.

This gen:
PS4>>>Xone>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii U

Got the other thread locked?

I know I'm contributing to your point and attention whoring right now but I couldn't hold back.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

This was a joke, right?



Want to bet for signature control? If you do Simple Jack will be your theme OP.



 

Can a mod please take Kaizars thread making privilege away? Not forever but maybe until he starts informing himself before he posts something. -.-

Oh yeah, totally agree.

Furthermore, BF5 and Titanfall 2 are going to skip X1 and be huge hits on the Wii U.


Ha ha ha. Plus EA isnt interested in hardware sales. They are inerested in software sales and attach ratio.



The Wii U won't have better sales than the XOne. This is cheap trolling.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Right now, the gaming world is fractured into the hardcore crowd and the family/casual gaming crowd. Wii U has more or less cornered the family/casual gaming end of things and PS4 is trouncing XBox One with the hardcore gamers. If you were in charge of EA, would you support two platforms that catered to the same crowd? Doesn't make any sense. You'd reach the widest audience by supporting the PS4 and Wii U without the added expense of a third console.

I've heard this argument before, but really, how much can it possibly cost to port a game to XBOne? Its practically identical to the ps4, and we already heard ubi saying that Wii u ports cost around a mil, so I can't imagine it'd cost too much more than that for the One. There's basically a guarantee that most devs will make back the porting cost. Add to that all the marketing assistance and other "incentives" that M$ offers, and I don't see any chance of them losing third party support this gen, even if they sell under a forth of what Sony does.

Also, “Nintendo was dead to us very quickly. It became a kids IP platform and we don’t really make games for kids."

"Nintendo's a great partner. They never have been, and never will be 'dead' to EA"

-Peter Moore, EA COO, in rebutall to the made up quote you listed above.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

supporting them "again"? They only released the few games they did on the WiiU because the WiiU can handle PS3/360 games. Once they start focusing on the PS4 and XBone, the WiiU was gonna be left behind, just like did the Wii, compared to PS3 and 360. Unless you want gimped games like "Madden 'All-Play'"



No.
