Man this 'next-gen' hasn't even started yet and these stories are reading like 10 years of political flip flopping.

Makes sense for EA.  They'd be incredibly stupid not to cash in on ports/IPs for the WiiU.

make up your mind EA!

That was quick.

Before M$ Xbox One reveal: 'Ninty SUCKS. WORST CONSOLE EVER. They'll be software-only like Sega after 2013 lololololololol. ::)'

After M$ Xbox One reveal: 'WHOO NINTY! WE <3 NINTY! NINTY 4 LYFE! ;D'

Coincidence??

There were four short paragraphs. Looks like you missed part of the second one

"Now it looks like EA is eating its words. During the Stifel Nicolaus 2013 Internet, Media and Communications Conference, EA's CFO, Blake Jorgensen, confirmed that the company is developing games for the Wii U after all - albeit, not as many as for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One."


Also during the Nextbox reveal EA said they have some sort of bullshit exclusive content deal with MS. So Nintendo is going to get a handful of top selling titles (Madden for example) and PS4 is going to get all the same content as Xbox but a couple week or couple months later than MS.

Like Wildbil said elsewhere the tablet has some serious possibilities for play making in sports games so they could definitely use the technology to their advantage.

But like Shadow said elsewhere.(if memory serves) The WiiU is not as developer friendly as the other 2 systems are.

I don't think they ever said that they weren't going to make games for it, they just said that they don't have any games currently in development. 

You probably won't see the big titles like Mass Effect and Battlefield, but EA likes money and they will put SOMETHING on the U.

EA's Party Train. Now with Ring Toss!

With any luck it will sell as much as the Carnival Games did on Wii.

This is what I thought.

If Smartglass and the PS Vita are properly instrumented, I don't see what real advantage the Wii U tablet will have to offer.

Sega's doubling down on the Wii U too.

They've promised three exclusive Sonic games.

Awesome 3 more crap Sonic games!!!!! Oh Sega what happened to you :(

As much as you guys say the WiiU doesn't have a chance, I like it, A lot

agreed i don't really care about sales or comparisons with other systems, or it's technical specs. i have fun playing it and the gamepad is something new and pretty cool, so i don't really have complaints about that. i do hope they do better business-wise though, or it won't get a big library of games obviously.

How can you not care about sales? No sales = no new systems. I am sure the Wii U will have some good games but you have to care about sales.

I doubt smartglass will be.
It is utter trash. I recently took an xbox survey and let them know it sucked and while i have used it (achievement requirement in a few games) i hate it and avoid it like the plague.

Sales and Specials app was a result of one of those surveys i took and that sucks hard. Another poorly integrated thing tacked on rather than a functional feature.

I have never really understood what Smartglass does, does it work along the same lines as a extra controller?

Yeah because Colors and Generations was so terrible..oh wait no they were fantastic.

i care about it enough for them to not go out of business, but not enough to hate the system for it like a lot of people seem to be. whether or not a system sells well has no effect on my opinions or enjoyment of it is what i meant.

I have never heard of Colors. Well it is nice Generations was good. There have been some rough Sonic games for the last 10 years.

Smartglass is a combination of old Xbox app, remote control, and second screen for some content.

I agree that SmartGlass is crap as it stands now, especially on the iPhone/iPods, but they have a chance to fine tune it with the new system.  Not saying that they will though, it's hard using it as a game controller without any physical buttons.
