Forums - Nintendo - Why is FIFA 15 on Wii but not Wii U?

100 Million vs. 7 Million?

They're a business, so they'll make choices which make them money. No love/hate involved

Yeah it's bizarre, especially since the Wii version is the "legacy edition" which changes nothing but some ratings and rosters. They could have easily done that on Wii U as well.



Because a Wii U port would cost too much and the Wii version is easy money. Also Wii U install base is too low for developers to dedicate manpower to it.



to much effort to put a 60 dollar PATCH for FIFA 14 on WiiU.

IF EA cannot make $1m profit per $1 spent they dont even try.

Smart businesses are supposed to be knowledgeable enough to determine which of those 2 numbers represent active users.

No one at EA gives a shit about the Wii U.

And the sad thing is that if you go to the EA website, they got it figured that the Wii and Wii U are the same console.

They've also made no attempt to sell games on the eShop for a competitive price. Need for Speed, FIFA 13, and Madden 13 are all still $60



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

It cost less to port on wii then wii u with no big difference in sale numbers,EA should stop making Fifa on Vita too



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Nintendo refused to bend over to EA's stupid demands and now they have sand in their vagina



The Wii version is just the legacy edition. If they made a WiiU version people would expect it to be the standard edition like on the PS3/360, which would require more work than they likely think the WiiU is worth.



Because 15 is just an updated 14 with updated kits and teams, which is an updated 13 with updated kits and teams, which is an updated 12 with updated kits and teams, which is an updated 11 with updated kits and teams, which is an updated 10 with updated kits and teams etc. etc. etc.
