It failed to meet sales projections for Ubisoft, and would have done worse if it had remained an exclusive.
Rayman performed best on Wii U, didn't it? Also, people were upset over the multiplatfirm delay.
How do you "compete" for third parties? I don't get what you're talking about.
Dat unprecedented partnership.
Is there any proof of that claim? No. Facts are facts, and it performed best on Wii U.It failed to meet sales projections for Ubisoft, and would have done worse if it had remained an exclusive.
COD with mechs, COD in space, COD in the past, COD on top of buildings, COD in space in the past, COD clone.
Just trying to fit in with the thread.

Console warz! Yeah! Go get 'em, demon!
Of course they'd ignore the company releasing multiple 10/10 games. How else do you think they'd have accomplished NBA Live 14 if they actually looked at quality?
You're loss...considering the quality is not on EA side....
Yep, only mostly generic and bland games...
you gotta keep that worst company in America award in check...
It's more like fake gamers ignore a shitload of real games, Nintendo releases. Which is sad. Yes.
That's why the Wii U is the best console of the new generation.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee EA.

Haven't bought an EA game for months and planning not to buy any in the coming months (yeah even Titan Fall.. won't buy it).
EA is the worst company in the whole gaming industry, and by far.
It's funny cause it's true.EA doesn't make children's games. Why would they have Nintendo listed?
It's not even about console wars, posts like this are utter gold to me.
Especially that last post, oh man
The tears of unfathomable sadness are my ambrosia. Thank you, Nintendo, for this feast.
true |truː|It's funny cause it's true.

I have been ignoring Nintendo for quite some time now...
Looking at the sales figures most people are now ignoring Nintendo...
- Hardware in the same ballpark
- Easy to work with middleware
- Easy and well documented software stacks for your OS/Network hooks
- Readily available liaisons for technical and business questions
- Actively approaching third parties with promising ideas and offer them a couple of coders to help
- Make things easy for indies (give them some face time)
- Make things easy for small - medium publishers (give them some face time)
- Constantly engage your partners for ideas on how to make things better
None of this costs a cent, except for maybe salaries.
Because some people take video games a little too seriously. To the point that's it's impossible not to smile, laugh, facepalm or shake your head when reading comments.
Good luck doing that in a year or two when you have Titanfall, next gen Mass Effect, Dragons Age, Mirror's Edge 2, Star Wars Battlefront and also the new IP from BioWare. I don't really like EA as a company but that doesn't mean I won't buy the games they put out lol.

So they should have released the game when the WiiU's install base was even smaller to appease a minority of upset fans? In what world does that make sense....but would probably have done better if it was released on the Wii U as an exclusive when it was supposed to (before they pissed off Nintendo fans and when the game was being well hyped)....and then released 6 months later on the 360/PS3.
Because I am tickled
I mean one guy up there said only real gamers buy a Wii U.
The Wii U! Haha
Chû Totoro;90610925 said:You're right about some people's behavior being laughable but "The Wii U! Haha" doesn't make you look really smarter in this case. And it's not helping having a constructive discussion.
Nothing in those posts I quoted was in the least bit constructive, least of all yours.
My post was made of humor because there's nothing constructive to even add to this discussion. Anybody who is surprised / upset about EA ignoring the Wii U is severely in denial with regards to the Wii U's impact on the console market. Probably the same people that thought the Wii U's commercial failure was a sign that the games industry as a whole was dead.

I'm not going to sit here and say something inane like "Nintendo is better off without EA" or "EA will regret this move." Those dwell too much on fanboyism and discourage discussion.
But I am going to propose that maybe EA is narrowing its focus in a dangerous way. Just because EA did not make money on mature, M-rated titles on Wii U (not that they always went about it in the correct fashion; see Mass Effect 3 launching alongside ME Trilogy on other platforms) does not mean that was they only way they could capitalize on Wii U's market. Could EA not have sold their titles on the Virtual Console catalog? What about mid-range family-friendly titles like EA Sports Playground and Facebreaker KO that were, I imagine, at worst modest successes on Wii? Medal of Honor Heroes 2 also must have done reasonably well on Wii and that was not their AAA product, either.
EA couldn't make big bucks on simply porting their AAA titles near launch, so they abandoned the ship altogether. Doesn't this seem like throwing the baby out with the bathwater? Although EA's mobile business is succssful, why does that mean they have to ignore the 3DS? Again, even if they don't have much luck with packaged goods, they could still release eShop content like Virtual Console, or even porting their mobile titles with lots of DLC options.
They have all sorts of revenue options available that could supplement their risky AAA sales and they ignore nearly all of them. Diversity is a healthy business approach as long as you can afford it. Why ignore Wii U, 3DS, and even Vita just because you can't toss out the easiest solution and make a profit? Just like in life, you can't always take the easy route and walk away a winner. This sort of narrowed focus on iOS/Android and AAA(A?) budget titles is a dangerous and precarious path IMHO, and I wonder how well it will suit them in the long run.

If you ignored half of the posts so you can make your funny post then you are worst than the ones you're trying to laugh at.

I don't even know what to do with this so I'm just gonna chuckle to myself.
Lol k

Kind of like how Nintendo ignores the rest of the gaming community

Sure, it would do better on a console with its install base of not even 4 000 000 than on the consoles that have the install base of 160 000 000 consoles combined.
O.O
Why do people still buy EA's games? They've been distributing nothing but bad games on consoles for a couple of years now, and that seems like it won't change.
Because I am tickled
I mean one guy up there said only real gamers buy a Wii U.

Well he's right. Real gamers buy every system out there and have a competent gaming PC so that they can play every game available.
I imagine it with British accents.
Exec #1: "The Wii U is pretty shit, iddnit?"
Exec #2: "Yep. Get fucked, Nintendo."
And that is how the unprecedented partnership came to a close.
Real gamers don't play games, they just moan about them on the internet.Well he's right. Real gamers buy every system out there and have a competent gaming PC so that they can play every game available.
