What was EA support for the Wii Boom Blox?  EA had nothing to do with Wii success and lack of support wouldn't have mattered.  As for half assed ports remark.  DS and Wii didn't need EA to be a success and they don't need EA for the Switch to be a success.

EA doesn't understand the market for the Switch, they have said so themselves.

They don't understand that, in order to crack the Switch audience, they have to come with QUALITY.

They have to compete with Nintendo's games, and that's the only way they can make a dent. Since that makes absolutely NO sense to them, they simply haven't entertained the idea very much. EA reminds me a lot of Atari when they got bought by Warner. Service to the consumer makes no sense to them, it is ALL about exploitation. That's the only thing they understand.

I am always amazed when someone dismiss the definition of hybrid. PS Vite+PS4 is an hybrid ? Good luck playing your PS4 games on a plane. And also, good luck to play your PS Vita games on a TV (that's possible, but seriously, good luck).

About the Wii http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/2/wii/

We can all see how the "signifiant support from every major third party" is wonderful. Wow.

We obviously don't notice any big difference, don't we ?

When the difference between a "hybrid console" and a "non-hybrid console" is whether an accessory to play a console on a TV ships with the console or is sold separately, the term is at best a marketing tool.  To be clear my point was that it meets the definition of "hybrid" because of the ways you can play the same game in different ways with everything included in a single package, not how practical it is, or how capable each solution is.

What about the Wii? I see dozens, if not hundreds of titles appearing on the Wii from every major publisher, including many of the most popular third party franchises in the world. Not once did I claim that the third party support for the Wii was nearly as good as the PS3 or Xbox 360 (because it obviously isn't), but there is absolutely no denying the Wii enjoyed much, much better third party support in terms of major third party titles than the Switch has so far. I mean honesty, the only publisher that is even doing Wii-style support (in the sense that they're consistently putting out a selection of their latest games on the platform) on the Switch is Bethesda

Well, exactly one of these IPs is actually from EA, so this is not the greatest of all points. (Also technically AssCreed is on Switch, but you mean current ones.)

But you have to see, that this sword uts both ways: Think how much more Sony and MS could sell, if they had games like Mario Kart, Zelda, Xenoblade, Pokemon and Civilization.

The basic point is: a gaming platforms sells based on the games it has. More games is always better. Some games are very popular and help more. And different games deliver for different tastes. So if current Nintendo platform owner dislike games that aren't actually on their platform it makes a lot of sense: if they would like these games, they had chosen another platform. And that current PS4/XB1 owners dislike Nintendo games makes also sense - if they would like them, they would own a Nintendo platform.

Would it be great if one platform had all games? Pronably that would also be bad, but the more games a platform accumulates, the better. Currently it doesn't look too bad for Switch. That the lineup doesn't contain stuff you like means you probably don't own one. But that doesn't change the fact that millions like the Switch - because they have different tastes than you and therefore deem different games important.

*claims that since one of the games I listed was from EA on a point about overall third party support means my point isn't great*

*claims "sword cuts both ways" by pointing out Sony would sell more Playstations if they had Nintendo first party games... and Civilization*

*goes on some tangent about how Nintendo owners don't like PS4/Xbox games, and PS4/Xbox owners don't like Nintendo games so its fine their libraries don't have that much in common, or something*

*thinks I probably don't own a Switch because I don't like how poor the third party support is for the Switch*

Okay man. You think whatever you want to think. There's obviously no reasonable conversation to be had with you.

Because EA can't comprehend why Nintendo is still successful after their fails while EA themselves are having a very hard time understanding why people can't accept their single player is dead and loot boxes shinanigans protest.

Yes I deny it. On the Wii, from the "major third party titles", you had rhythm games and half-assed ports. And few exclusives (timed or not).

Maybe Nintendo are stricken on the Loot box ideas that EA force into there games. Consider N has a house hold name maybe that dont want to trash there image since alot of kids play there games and EA is all about gambling.

Well for one I like to see little figurines.  I don't view it as DLC.  I view it as figurine collectables.  So yeah you can diss me all you want but I like to look at them.  They are like trophies in smash
