EA says they BACKED THE WRONG HORSE (PS3,360)... regrets lack of Wii support!!!!

lmao talk about ownage... before you all come in and say EA sucks... keep in mind they're one of the biggest publishers in the world and where they go... everybody else goes.

Look what happened to the DC when EA pledged their support to the PS2 :shock:

Here that sound?

That's the sound of the Wii stealing all of your third party support.

"[This transition has been] harder because of the complexity," Riccitiello said, "and harder because unfortunately, we bet a little bit on the wrong horse in focusing so much on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and to a lesser degree on the Wii. And let me assure you that almost all of us in the industry made the same judgment. So after so many transitions of guessing exactly right, we got this one a little bit wrong and we're dealing with that now with strong investments on the Wii."

One of those investments--a studio dedicated to developing specifically for the Wii--was announced roughly a week after Nintendo's system launched.

It's not like they can make any decent games, they just go after the money.

Don't the haters see the ownage coming?

We get news about 3rd Parties going Wii like... everyday now.

They are in it for the money. The Wii is selling like crazy. Wasdie

How is going where the money is ownage? EA likes to make money, which is shown by their releasing of new versions of their games every year. They want to make more money, so they go to what's making lots of money: the Wii.

I wonder what minigames EA is developing for the Wii right now? :?

EA Playground, and that's it.

I'm awaiting MySims, it sounds like an Animal Crossing rip off, but I feel like I need to stay calm until the real Animal Crossing comes out.

Right now they're just mad because the Wii is selling so much, wait until it actually starts to effect them as gamers.

c'mon, now you guys don't want me to post the MASSIVE list of 3rd party games that are going to be on PS3and 360 but NOT on Wii.

I thought sheep said the Wii wont interfere with hardcore gaming? I don't care anyway cause the only type of game that EA is going to make for Wii is shovel-ware.

Stealing support from PS3/360= unfair

I feel bad for Wii owners........Seriously though, its not like EA has such amazing games, the only reason that they are #1 dev is because of their sports games which will always be multiplat. Besides us PS3/360 owners will still get to enjoy their best games (Army of 2, Rock Band, Burnout Paradise, and Skate!!!)snorlaxmaster

ROFL!

First it's EA sucks. And then you say good EA games are coming to the PS3/360.

Pick one.

For the record, I've never been on the anti-EA bandwagon. People just bash them because they're an easy target.

Do it the Wii has a lot of games coming out this fall that I want so either way it really doesn't matter.

As soon as devs start to announce unlimited quality games for the Wii next year the cows will be btching and moaning.

Look up "gain" in the dictionary. After that, look up "have."

You may find that they are not the same.

Exactly what we try to tell cows when it comes to 2007 vs. 2008 threads.

"But if you're looking for companies that we admire and might well keep us up at night, I think about companies like Ubisoft, that made a quicker and more forceful move against the Wii and Nintendo DS, and that's showing in their results. [They're] insightful, and they create an awfully large number of great titles. No question, there's a lot to admire there."

lol I guess they are going to release the same kind of "quality" then.

Aren't all companies? :?

While that is true, you may not have it as much after we gain it.

jedigemini

When it actually does, I'll worry. Right now the only sound I hear is PS3 and 360 owners salivating over all the great 3rd party games Wii owners will be missing. Disgusting sound mind you.

wii may be good for the industry, maybe it will become popular for 80% of devs to make cheap ungly games for the casuals.

then games like MGS4 and RE5 will really stand out. brining the demand for awesome games way up.

They should be called out for not making any companies games to the best of their abilities and trying to suck up to them afterwards is a insult.Heil68

For the most part EA makes quality games but they tend to have a lot of little things missing as well as annoying glitches....cough NCAA FB.

HeHateMe_basic

If the Wii is popular they will put quality games on it because they know they will sell. I don't care how popular any council is if a game is bad that means few people will buy it. Developers are now just realizing how much money they came make off of the Wii if them make quality games for it.
