Thanks for the link.
As to the rest, I don't think they have any obligation to support the Wii U. But that doesn't change that EA cultivated their own audience on the other platforms and neglected to cultivate one on Nintendo platforms. We can't lay the blame for there "not being an audience for EA's games" (which I don't believe is true) on Nintendo, when EA pointedly doesn't release games of equal quality or effort on Nintendo platforms. Nintendo certainly could moneyhat some games, but that won't make the audience suddenly appear on the console. It will just give that audience a worthwhile game to buy on the console, finally.
I don't understand the argument that the audience doesn't exist when the reality is that the games don't exist for that audience to buy. A few late, shitty ports of games available for lower prices on other consoles doesn't determine whether or not an audience exists, apparently unless you're an early Xbox 360 adopter looking to play Madden, which is the only counterargument I've seen to this.
The fact of the matter is, EA won't give the same shitty "support" to the other consoles that it gives to Nintendo, so we won't know how they would respond. But EA also won't bother to actually put effort into, at the very least, a truly multiplatform Wii U release that has the same DLC and features as, again, at the very fucking least, the PS360 versions. So no one can every really say whether that audience exists on the Wii U or not.
