Comments on: EA Targeting Nintendo Platforms Next http://gigaom.com/2007/02/03/ea-targeting-nintendo-platforms-next/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jon R. http://gigaom.com/2007/02/03/ea-targeting-nintendo-platforms-next/#comment-134324 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 03:09:49 +0000 http://gigagamez.com/2007/02/03/ea-targeting-nintendo-platforms-next/#comment-134324 I kind of wonder about this. EA knows how to make money in the Playstation world of not having to do better than the lowest common denominator. EA knows how to make money doing things that Nintendo apparently wants nothing to do with for the Wii and DS. The thing that makes EA unpopular is exactly their weakness here.

This isn’t like anything before, where splits in preference were borne of some schoolyard prejudice. This console generation is one of ideologies for some. It’s the kind of thing where people DON’T put up with some shovelware sequel just because. In fact, these systems are tailor-made for those who don’t. I wonder if EA can actually survive in that kind of environment.
