Surprise surprise. EA wants to track their market online and engage them in marketing via their "social" games. That is not Nintendo's style...hence EA withrdawing support in favor of multi platform.
I find it amusing that they are using their own sub-par game as their excuse. :-P
Seriously, is that all anyone thinks about anymore? This trailer looked pretty generic to me...reminded me of Fallout, Elder SCrolls, FF Online, Perfect world, and a handful of other games. It did nothing to show off anything that would make it different...and for many players graphics aren't everything.
If they ARE relying on the graphics to sell it they are going to have to flush out texture details and add more NPCs to the terrains...most of the areas looked a bit empty.
