I am just concerned where their priorities will be with Madden as this shift begins to happen. You make a great point with "dumbing the titles down" as that would probably get them to sell more and hopefully not take away from our versions...

Well if they want to make a stupid mans Madden for the Wii I could care less. But just as long as they do not touch the PS3 or Xbox version.

Thanks.

Without any evidence in the article to suggest this, I would tend to believe that this shift in focus won't affect the sports titles.

well you gotta realize, the people that play sports games are more inclined to have a ps3 or 360. Your not goint to buy a Wii if Sports game are your favorite games. I would be willing to bet that the majority of EA sports games sold on the Wii are presents from Fathers hoping their kids get into sports. Honestly, I do not know a single person who has played a All Play Title on the Wii.

They (EA) have to realize this... EA is not good with handling failure...

I thought FIFA 09 was/is the highest grossing EA game.

I am just kind of concerned that they may turn their focus to getting a decent Madden out on Wii and that may take away from the 2nd and 3rd place system versions...

i thought the wii didn't sell many games aside from mario bull****. also, the people i know that have a wii don't even use the damn thing.
