"To be honest, the Wii platform has a been a little weaker than we had certainly anticipated and there's no lack of frustration to be doing that at precisely the time where we have the strongest third party share. We're reaching out to Nintendo to find ways to partner to push third-party software harder. I frankly think they [Nintendo] need more beats in the year than what they get out of a first party slate to be able to have the Wii software platform perform as well as they would like. Wii is where we're missing it. I really do think that the opportunity exists to find different ways to partner with the first party [Nintendo] in this case to help establish in the minds of the consumer legitimacy of some of these other brands when they're going out multi-platform because very, very few multi-platform titles are succeeding on the Wii so far. Collectively, Electronic Arts and Nintendo need to tackle that." - EA CEO John Riccitiello

Thanks GoNintendo.

Wow, this EA thing is really making a big mess in the internet..

They better make good games then

I hope they aren't counting Extraction as multiplatform.

it's not just the wii they should be down on. They should be pretty disgusted with their recent efforts.

Here's your answer EA: Make better games on the Wii.

And they shouldn't be complaining. Their games are some of the better selling third party games on the Wii. I swear, their only complaining because they didn't make enough profit to cover their losses.

well if only EA would put some serious effort into their games they wouldn't have this problem.

Hey Extraction was a serious effort, just for the wrong kind of game (rail shooter=arcade gameplay, not slow paced survival horror).

A cheap rail shooter is not what i call a serious effort.

Where does it say it was cheap to make? Seriously, where?
