There was plenty of advertising for this game. EA is the only one at fault here. Taking a series that had ONE game a console system had and throwing it to another expecting it to do gangbuster? Really?
What's funny is, they first come out and blame the "hardcore" gamers, saying that they didn't show enough support. Bad move, on several accounts. Now, they're trying to pass the buck to Nintendo? EA, you hyped a game that fell flat on it's face and didn't think this whole thing through - just accept it and move on now.
That funny. I'm less than happy with Electronic Arts' Wii games.
Sorry to hear about the job losses, but isn't that a normal practice with some game companies? They complete their projects and then let the team(s) go? I know 15,000 is too huge of a number for a practice like that, but all that based on low Wii sales? Hmm...
Also, didn't EA acquire Playfish for 300 million dollars? Hmm...

Re: Electronic Arts Less Than Happy With Wii Sales
"Real gamers", "hardcore", etc. Such nonsense.

I bought this game when it first came out. It's really fun and worth checking out. It can get very challenging, too!
