That's only the reason for some Nintendo fans who can't cope with reality. Publishers are business. They have internal sales projections. Time has shown that EA's sales projections were more than just accurate. Investing into Wii U titles was not seen as lucrative even before launch; management expected putting resources into other platforms to be more worthwhile.
Ok, then. Bring me an EA's statement circa 2012, before WiiU came out, confirming they already knew WiiU was going to fail even before the launch. If they did, then this discussion is over.
2 of those 3 speculations involve money. The first could be one of those rare instances human emotion overcomes anything else.
But I think you further proved my point that money tends to be involved in most business decisions in some factor. So it's pretty naive to dismiss its role offhand when speculating since it tends to be involved in some form in the majority of business decisions. Which is what me and mael's argument was mostly about.
Is it ALWAYS involved? No, but it almost is.
It does involve, yes, but indirectly, not as the sole/major reason for the decision as you were trying to prove in your previous posts.
