Once sales pick up, EA will happily support Nintendo's console

Electronic Arts has gone into further detail about its decision to not support the Wii U home console, confirming that, once the Nintendo device starts selling, it will make business sense to bring games to the Wii U.

Nintendo launched its Wii U last November, and Electronic Arts sustained it with quite a few experiences, including sports games like Madden or FIFA, as well as shooters like Mass Effect, and even with a racing game, in the form of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Sadly, those games didn't sell, and EA's Frank Gibeau highlighted to Joystiq that "the only thing [Nintendo] can do to fix it is to sell more boxes. We're a rational company, we go where the audience is."

EA announced many impressive new games at E3 2013 this week, and none of them are coming to the Wii U.
