Not If NX has a similar architecture as PS4 and X1. It would be easier and cheap to port the games. There would be no reasons for EA not to bring their games to nintendo's console. However if NX is a complete different type of console, then nintendo won't have EA, Ubisoft or activison support in the near future. 

I can see them putting their mobile games on the NX.

You said quite a few 'if's. First of all, there is no guarantee that the NX will have similar architecture to the PS4/X1, you never know what Nintendo will pick. Secondly, right now I'm talking about the Wii U, which is not of a similar architecture, has a low install-base and a history of AAA games not selling well. Do you think taking all those things into consideration EA is gonna put the resoucres and effort into porting those big games to the Wii U? Of course not, they would be losing money. But yeah, in the unfortunate case the NX is different to the PS4 and X1 in architecture, then Nintendo would have to rely on it selling big, while being powerful enough to handle those games.

Well Wii U owners are buying a lot more 3rd partry casual and family friendly stuff than 3rd party mature stuff. The only M rated games that have done remotely well are exclusives. Which tells me people bought those on Wii U simply because they had no other option, such as Bayonetta 2.

3rd parties are still bringing some casual and family friendly stuff to Wii U because there is demand for that. Frankly, the only game I feel was a missed opportunity from EA was Plants vs Zombies GW on Wii U. That could have potentially performed well.

That 10 million is split with around half in the US and Canada (& Americas), a quarter in Japan, and a quarter in Europe (& Others).

It's known that NFL is most popular in the USA, NHL in Canada, and FIFA in Europe - but FIFA likely has the most spillover popularity.

I think these Sports Brands should be ubiquitous in that their EA licensed Sports games should be on as many platforms as possible.

The Sports licensor (i.e. NFL, NHL, FIFA) also try to be accessible to all people and too would benefit by reaching more people.

Heh, funny. I read in multiple places that since EA has exclusive rights to the NFL license they are legally obligated to put Madden on every platform. Seeing as it isn't on Wii U right now I bet they can opt out if the game doesn't meet a (very small) sales quota. It really sucks because the game can sell on the Wii U (and Vita/3DS)

The thing is it would have sold. Crysis 3 as a launch game on Wii U (and from all reports it was technically far superior to the PS3/360 versions) would have been a system seller and put paid to the misinformation at the time of launch that Wii U was weaker than the current Sony and Microsoft consoles.

As big as Nintendo is EA is not an emeny you want to have, like them or not they are one of the biggest publishers in the world. When EA released Fifa 14 on the 7 year old Wii but not Wii U and didn't release Madden in PAL territories at all you knew that they had the shits proper.

Nintendo need to have a complete rethink on their relationships with 3rd party devs and companies like EA and Ubisoft are critical to the success of NX.

Sorry yes you're right it wouldn't have been a launch game, but in the "launch window". Wii U was out December 2012 and in March 2013 one of the

devs made this quotoe -

Just a shame. In the early days of a console momentum is very important. When would be consumers see the open slagging and bagging of a console by a major publisher it sways people. Lets hope NX has better luck.
