He ignored my two posts which tells me all I need to know tbh.

We can't listen to your avatar! :p

Ya, sorry but that guess is obvious based on history. Also since you did ask, Sony vs EA is roughly the same about Nintendo vs EA, Sony does better, but the relationship was about the same until recently.

If I wanted to do the work in showing that EA and Nintendo have an inverse relationship when it comes to stock price using statistical analysis SPSS, SAS, R etc...I 'm sure could...but ill just chalk EA reneging on its "Unprecedence Partnership" with Nintendo and its recent success as coincidental.  Maybe they shifted what little resources they invested in them, and all underperforming platforms since the start of gen 8 into better opportunity and its working out for them.

Based on the data and the responses the OP has offered so far, I don't think the intent of this thread was to have an open discussion about whether EA's business move to avoid Nintendo was a good one or not.

Going to lock this thread, and if the true aim was an open discussion then I encourage the OP to remake it with a better framed OP with more sufficient data to back up their argument rather than seemingly putting two puzzle pieces together that don't fit.
