Speaking during EA's recent earnings conference call, CEO John Riccitiello revealed that the publisher has been disappointed by the performance of its Wii titles, but believes an opportunity still exists to gain a larger share of the market on Nintendo's console.

"To be honest with you, I think the Wii platform has been a little weaker than we had certainly anticipated" said Riccitiello.

He added: "I really do think that the opportunity exists to find different ways to partner with first party in this case to sort of help establish in the minds of the consumer legitimacy of some of these other brands when they are going out multi-platform because very, very few multi-platform titles are succeeding on the Wii."

There's a good idea EA - why don't you make something DECENT for a change? Apart from DSE, we've had nothing to shout about.
