Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at an EA showcase event held last month, EA Sports boss Peter Moore has said third-parties cannot blame Nintendo for their lack of success on the Wii, instead must look to their own output in an effort to crack the Wii code.
“Well I think the emphasis is on the third parties to crack the code on the Wii,” said Moore.
He added: “But at the same time, it’s not rocket science, and we in the publishing community have got to go and figure that out. I think we’ve done it with Tennis and Tiger, EA Sports Active really feels like it’s going to be a success, and the unique way that we’re utilising the Wii Remote is going to be the secret source to that.”
Moore concluded: “… you can’t blame Nintendo because third party publishers have yet, in real mass, to find success on the platform. They get the same dev kits as everybody else, and it’s our job to figure it out.”
EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis is scheduled for release on June 12 and will be available bundled with the Wii MotionPlus accessory. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 is scheduled to hit stores the following month.
