If they think they will make money on new Nintendo hardware they will return, this applies all 3rd party. Pretty simple.

Absolutely this. People seem to make up a lot of stories and ignore the simple fact that there's no money in developing for Wii U.

EA can rot
Nintendo doesnt need EA
REQUIESCAT IN PACE
I Hate REMASTERS
I Hate PLAYSTATION PLUS
If they want to ignore Nintendo then I don't see a problem with it. Their games wouldn't do well on Nintendo's consoles and I doubt most Wii U and 3DS owners even care for EA's games.

I alluded to it earlier but, yes, EA and Nintendo have very rarely seen eye-to-eye. I think EA has zero faith in being able to sell games on Nintendo systems unless they have a massive installed base behind them. Part of that is because of the audience but the other part, the part that bothers many third-party publishers, is that Nintendo has historically done very little to push sales for anything but their own software. The rise of Playstation and Xbox gave publishers and developers alternatives that were willing to work with them for mutually beneficial results. I don't know that EA wants Nintendo to fail, exactly, but I am pretty sure that they think it's much more advantageous for them if Playstation or Xbox is the market leader. |

Kuksenkov said: EA went as far as to have spokespersons and their own executives, talk crap about Wii U OPENLY. They basically called Wii U trash. I understand that money is the most logical choice as of why they're ignoring Nintendo, but they were supporting past consoles even if software sales were bad. I believe there is something more, and I wouldn't doubt for a second that they don't have a beef with Nintendo after the whole online thing fiasco.... You don't go from getting small revenue from software sales and keep supporting, to announce a partnership or whatever, and two months later proceed to publicly insult Nintendo. |
This is why I hope that if NX (or any other Nintendo console for that matter) becomes an incontournable success and EA comes crawling back, that Nintendo just tells them to hit the door and get the hell out of there

specific numbers?
EA will go where the money is, and Nintendo is not where the money is right now.
