A major blow was dealt to Nintendo last summer when EA shockingly announced that they had no games in development for the Wii U, indicating that they had abandoned the console altogether and were going to focus on games for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. EA curtly commented that they were aiming to "be where the gamers are", though they didn't rule out working on Wii U games if the console managed to bounce back, which most now view as a distant possibility. Considering that EA is one of the largest third-party video game developers on the planet, this meant a wealth in lost revenue for the Wii U, which would have otherwise likely seen countless sports franchises such as FIFA and Madden on its shelves, as well as the recent shooter Battlefield 4.
