EA had January sales of under 1600 Wii U SW units for under $40k in receipts.

what EA games where even on the wiiu?

This. You can't sale anything if you don't offer anything to buy. It is quite literally a testament to their ability to extract money from gamers that EA found a way to make 40k off of Wii U receipts without shipping a damn thing. They are... that good.

Surprised there were 1600 Wii U units left on shelves published by EA at this point tbh...

Looking at Wikipedia: FIFA 13, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition and Need for Speed: Most Wanted U

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_software

well of course sales will be pitiful

those are 2 year old late ports

I know, but it really reflects Wii U's 3rd party support.
