because the 360 & PS3 are what exists... presumably when EA gets around to launching a bug-ridden star wars game the successors tp the PS3 & 360 will be on the market... no?

at that point in time it would be pretty hard to believe that EA would be silly enough to build a starwars whattnot with antiquated (extremely underpowered) hardware in mind... then again EA execs are the geniuses behind the destruction of many game franchises... so it's anybodies guess

Actually it might seem silly at that time to not when you have special abilities afforded by the gamepad's screen. Plus there would be a potentially large market of people who have purchased one for the inevitabl;e Zelda, 3D Mario etc

However, it's nice that you ignored the whole statement about EA not doing any good 3DS titles but has tossed some support behind the Vita. The 3DS has much more market. There's a few games there, but they aren't bringing any of their bigger releases over.

i wouldn't be surprised if the execs at EA have a personal bug up their rears regarding Nintendo... being a petty infighter and general nutjob is a prerequisite of top leadership at large corporations.

my comment was specific to older hardware specs. i make no attempt to argue against your statement that EA is prejudiced against nintendo... it may be irrational from the perspective of the corporation, butthere might be a very good personal reason for EA leadership to act against the best interests of the corporation... such as a personal benefit to doing so. all i'll say about that is that there is probably a very understandable (rational or irrational) reason for the behaviour (bias) that you say exists... if the corporation loses, you can bet that some leadership is winning big
