the problem is, they seem to be mentioning purely multiplatform games... whch will never sell better on wii

Heh. I found an even better way to look at it.

Searching metacritic for Wii games from EA, sorting from lowest to highest score:

http://apps.metacritic.com/search/process?ty=3&ts=Electronic+Arts&tfs=game_publisher&sb=4&game_platform=wii&x=21&y=8&release_date_s=&release_date_e=&metascore_s=&metascore_e=

They have 20 Wii games with a score <= 65. Incidentally, a third of their games.

Let's just hope they cut the correct third.

That's a good link to have for anyone who argues that  there are too many games reviewed with high scores... it's proof that there's a lot more with terrible scores.

I hope this means no more terrible movie games. G.I. Joe sold so little and was released on every console.

wii probably made them more profit than PS3 and maybe 360, kind of difficult to tell with the HD multiplatform titles

Check the links that NJ5 posted... there's a ton of Wii games that didn't sell at all. They made a lot of garbage.

But some Multiplatform games do sell better on Wii.  Stuff like the LEGO titles, The Simpsons Game, Many versions of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, etc.

Pretty much every excuse EA throws up shows its their own lack of effort, bad management and pressing out a host of worthless games which caused them to get to this point.  And what's worse, they're not only trying to blame the Wii like all other Third Parties, but the gamers for not buying all the casual junk they put out.

lol, EA has no fucking clue. Their one really successful Wii multiplatform game is Tiger Woods (also the leading SKU now sales wise) and they're still insisting on "arcade family friendly" makeovers for Madden, FIFA and NFS. They deserve to fail at this rate.

i think they should learn the lesson of tiger woods 10. there is a multiplatform wii game that keeps its traditional style, and is very like the HD versions but builds on the wiis strengths, uses motion plus and the weather channel, includeds bonus courses and modes, and didnt try to emphasis the 'hey look how cartoony and great we are for everyone!' kind of approach. and it sold really well.


brand + quality + marketing is whats needs and very few of EAs games have all 3. Trying to tell us the market isnt there is ludicrous

The EA list appears to be incomplete as it does not include the most recent Tiger Woods (or some other sports game).

I think what EA may not realize is that Wii owners don't buy every sequel that comes along. So it may not be a good market for a new sports release every year (Madden 08, 09, 10) or for yearly sequels (Boom Blox Party; Game Night 2, Nerf Strike 2), or for spin-offs (My Sims Kingdom, etc.).

My biggest complaint with EA games is that they tend to access the drive a lot -- I wonder if they are killing my Wii (literally).

They should make a Wii Battlefield. Maybe port BF2? or make a port of BFBC2 with the same destruction but lesser graphics.

Battlefield Wii would be awesome.
