They need to make way more money on DS/Wii - they really should have pushed more effort into DS/Wii from the beginning..... i mean making more money with the PSP than Wii ?

yeah because its so hard for the biggest publisher in the world to create something decent on the Wii. How many original titles do they have on the Wii? Boom Blox is all I can think of. Their AllPlay series is not going to outsell their counterparts.

Shouldn't be hard to develop for it since it's very similar to the GC.

Anyway, this is pretty telling. Both EA and Ubisoft make a lot of casual games, and both aren't doing very well?

Has the market for the "lolcasual" games finally been flooded out?

UbiSoft isn`t doing well ? They make a TON of money with their crap on DS, with as low effort as possible...

They put good wii controls into Madden. MySims was a good seller and its beens the top selling platform for Tiger Woods for 3 years now. And MoH Wii I hear had great controls, just a bland setting

Why the hell are EA pulling all this BS with their PC titles if they're still pulling in quite a lot of money for the company.

Yes, Madden has nice controls - but those kind of games will always sell better with traditional controls i think. At least in this generation, also it has been marketed as the family-friendly kiddy all-play version with the crappy Cover.....My Sims is ok and sold very well - where other Games like Boogie just keep bombin. MoH same stuff - no marketing, Ps2 left-overs, nothing new.

How about BurnOut on Wii or Black ? Exklusive Games developed by their Top Devs....

Yes, which isn`t suprising since they put all their High Quality Stuff and IPs on Ps360. Is it really that hard to come up with a +80 Game on Wii 2 years after release ? I mean really...
