The Wii SOLD you moron. You keep going on and on about Nintendo fans and their loyalty. Well if fans were that loyal they would have bought WiiU in droves. But they aren't and didn't. Nintendo will have to learn its lessons. But you keep going on and on about how because the WiiU is a disaster right now Nintendo should just give up and go 3rd party. Why? The Wii sold amazingly well. Wii U isn't. One bad mistake doesn't mean the corporation give up what they do. They have to fix it but they shouldn't just leave.

The name calling is not necessary. I will not respond to someone who calls names. I'm an adult, have an adult discussion or do not talk to me.
 
EA attacks an eligible platform for their video games.
EA discontinues Season Pass.
EA pushes Origin..

Ladies and gentlemen. EA is entering the home console market.

Are these people saying "Lol why do fanboys defend a company!" pretty much implying that one can't disagree with what this guy said?

I think the only "hard fact" here is that WiiU is underperforming and of course that reflects in poor sales for 3rd parties.

If anything it is overperforming considering its current state.

I haven't thought about it that way. Most Wii U games will be collectors items soon. I've always wanted to be a game collector! <3
 
If people want him fired over this, then we've been waiting 7 years for Gaben to announce his resignation.

You sure are emotionally invested. I'm sure huge multi-national corporation is interested in your personal allegiances.

No, EA isn't entering the home console market: Building hardware is an expensive proposition with a much higher associated risk than producing software.

EA also cuts 10% of their workforce. That's not something a company does when expansion is imminent.

LOL @ people who think he will be fired.
For what? Because he said the truth.
He works in the industry so he got some inside knowledge going.
But yeah just fire him because he insulted my childhood idol Nintendo

The only things he said that were true is that the Wii U's online store is bad and it is less powerful than the 360 in (most) technical aspects, although it can be argued that it is more powerful in some aspects.

The tablet is not weird or even a negative. For dual screen use that is debatable, but for off screen play it is extremely convenient and handy. I have had many circumstances where someone else needed the main TV and I could just switch to the tablet. Or, if I was sitting outside drinking coffee on my porch in the morning I could pop out my Wii U tablet and play some console quality games. Its a great idea for those aspects and its not "Weird" or gimmicky as others would say.

He is also ignorant for saying that "Doing a sega" is their most viable option, considering the 3DS is doing relatively well and they are actually profiting. Not to mention that going third party would drastically decrease their revenue flow and they would not be able to deliver anywhere near the same variety of first party games, mid-teir games like Xenoblade, Pushmo, and Pikmin simply would never come out anymore. Not to mention that more than likely they could no longer take risks on 3D mario games, resulting in a loss of quality.

Also, he said that "only mario and zelda make money" on Nintendo platforms, which is extremely false. Other games like Metroid and Pokemon also make lots of money. Metroid Prime 3 sold almost 2 million units, which isn't small. Pokemon Black and White sold almost 15 million units. Not to mention Super Smash Bros, which sold almost 12 million units.

Plenty of third parties have made money on Nintendo platforms, saying only Mario & Zelda sell( when Zelda isn't even a particularly big seller) shows he knows nothing about Nintendo platforms.

Correct, but he's not talking about the Wii or past Nintendo consoles. He's talking about the Wii-U, which is barely selling let alone selling software. At least that's what I get from his tweet.

What they think and what is factually true are two different things. If you or anyone else thinks the Wii has a superior catalogue to say, the SNES or any of the gameboys or DS, than I would have to laugh that person out of the room.

Pretty sure you're the one who will get laughed out of the room with this. GBA is the only Gameboy even close to being in the Wii's league for content.
 
Times like this are when we need Yamauchi and Howard Lincoln back in the helm. You think they would stand for shit like this? lol.

Oh well.

Yeah, I know. It's just all so weird!!

Edit: Bah, forgot about the layoffs. Now my conspiracy theory is straight down the tubes.

And I hope they won't succeed this time. If Nintendo can turn Wii U's fortune around EAs shareholders won't be amused about the fact that the market share of their company is exactly 0%.

Same here. Nintendo succeeding without EA would do tremendous damage to EA, and I assure you that Nintendo will succeed.
 
at this point i am wondering if this is some kind of ploy by ea and ms to slander wii u. for those who dont know, ms and ea are about to partner up for xbox durngo

ea hasnt said a word about ps4 either and respawns fps is xbox exclusive

I think I might actually do this. It'd be the first EA game I've ever purchased interestingly enough.

I wish people would stop claiming to know the truth behind this Nintendo-EA relationship. 1 twitter account and some old rumors are nothing to go by. Something happened though between EA announcing support while having active dev kits to launching some late ports and ending development completely.

The Wii U Itself Happened.

What do we care if the guy isn't representing his company professionally? I'm not EA – I welcome people in the industry that have the guts enough to speak their minds.

Speaking one's mind in a public forum, where your opinion is guaranteed to be disseminated on a large scale, regarding a competitor and/or a partner is never, ever a good idea.
