Investing the most isn't the same as investing well. If Extraction had been either fast paced and a rail shooter, or slow paced but a TPS like the original games, it would have done a lot better.

So now you're trying to blame that on the Wii, huh?

No clue, but the first game sold more on a 25 million users base than the last one ever will on a 55 millions one...

And the last one is the one that has been the best received in terms of quality...

Then you wonder why they decide not to invest as much...

All I'm saying is that they are the one major US publisher that halfway through this gen did try to change their strategy and do more for the Wii support, maybe it wasn't the right games, maybe it was too late, but it sure did not work out well and now they are going to cut their loss while they still can...

Tiger Woods '10 will beat or equal the previous installments given the time. What a weak comparison, Ail. You're just trying too hard now.

Good to see that EA finally recognized that Wii development is not as lucrative as everyone thinks and will spend more time developing on consoles where they can sell their games and where 3rd party titles tend to thrive.

As more time passes you will see more established publishers follow in the same steps and all the Wii will be left with is Nintendo first party and games like Crazy Chicken Tales.

10 is blue, 09 is red

EA Montreal is, to me at least, a baramoter of what EA is thinking internally.  I know that EA has multiple divisions, which gaming company doesnt...oh wait you dont know the scope of my gaming knowledge which explains the poor attempt at calling me out.

EA Montreal was founded in 2004, its one of EA youngest studios, yet you say its the worst based on 2 games that sold reasonable well (~1 mil for Boogie, over 2 mil for Army of Two).  Good logic there.

So let me get this straight:
EA Montreal

• Released one late spin-off to a game that sold less than 900k multiplatform (Skate It)
• One Boogie game and its cash-in sequel
• A bare-bones Need for Speed based off Hot Wheels that came out more than a month after the traditional HD counterparts
• SSX Blur, THE worst console SSX ever.

And now they want to abandon ship? It is like taking all the crops out of someone's garden and then salting the land so nothing ever grows there again, only to move on to the next place because "its not good anymore".

Skate It has been going up in sales recently because the price has dropped to a point where people can accept it relative to its quality.

The ignorance being shown by EAM here is mind-boggling. I could not possibly say enough.
