Default EA Shifts Focus to the Wii

Just curious everyone's thoughts on this and will we see more developers do this.

UK, February 4, 2009 - EA's John Riccitiello has spoken of how the publisher is to place half of its emphasis on the Wii, as it looks to 'rival Nintendo on their own platform'.

"Nintendo is the leader; they're getting half our emphasis in terms of title counts," said Riccitiello in the company's Q3 earning call, picked up by videogaming24/7, confirming that the hugely successful console will be a key platform for EA.
For the most part won't make a difference since most of EA's games appear on the Wii anyhow, but are taking a gamble with a Dead Space port and sure more stuff down the pipe.
