EA Goes For The Wii
Just got done reading a cool news clip on G4 about how EA wishes they would have bet on Nintendo and the Wii. He talked about how they have to choose what system to suppose before they come out and he feels like they may of made the wrong choice. Now EA is turning most of there resources into making more games for the Wii and DS. In fact EA head honcho John Riccitiello said:
"We typically figured out who the market leader was going to be before the start of the cycle and bet with our development resources on that platform. We made the wrong call there (by betting on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360), which made this transition harder than it would otherwise be. But now we're catching up, and I think we're fine. We've got some incredibly innovative Wii titles, incredibly innovative DS titles coming. And so I think that issue's sort of behind us. We have turned most of our resources toward quality up coming Wii games."
It looks like third party compaines are starting to look at the wii more seriously now. I think that we are going to see some great third party games coming up for the wii, not only from EA but others.
