One Electronic Arts developer has taken to Twitter to sound off on the struggling Wii U. As spotted by IGN, EA senior software engineer and architect Bob Summerwill did not hold back when expressing his feelings for the platform. 
"The Wii U is crap," Summerwill said, before deleting that tweet and all others. "Less powerful than an Xbox 360. Poor online/store. Weird tablet. Nintendo are walking dead at this point."
"Sony, MS, Apple, Google all following the same playbook," he added. "Standard, powerful, hardware, with focus on software and services."
Summerwill suggested that Nintendo should have exited the hardware business and instead shopped around its major titles to Microsoft and Sony.
"Nintendo are still operating like it's 1990," he said. "They should have 'done a Sega' and offered Mario/Zelda as PS4/Durango exclusives. Instead they make this awful console. Just stop it! Just make great games!"
Summerwill has worked at EA in a number of technical roles since 1999.
His comments came a day after EA confirmed that after releasing four games for Wii U, the publisher has no new titles in development for the system. By comparison EA supported the original Wii throughout its lifespan with 78 total games.
I'm curious what the new FUSION console (if it's not just a rumor) from Nintendo would be like. 8-\
i miss this thread :/
If they were operating like it's 1990, they'd have the most powerful console on the market. The problem is that now they no longer care about hardware specs as they did back in the days of the SNES. That console had a lot of innovative features in both hardware and software.
Personally, I think Nintendo should look to indie developers and ditch the mainstream generic trash that does nothing more than churn out the same shit every year.
Well, another news from the BBC about the FLOPING WiiU:

Here's a System Wars video:

The only reason why the wiiu is having a hard time is sony and microsoft are buying 3rd party rights. And 3rd party companies are becoming more lazier on creating originalatity. Nintendo has gamepad, wiiu remote, nunchuk, balance board, retro controller. What more does a programer need to make options to play a game to make a funner experience to their games?!
@Ryogg
Maybe this info can explain that question:

WiiU > WiiU + Region lock > XBone SpyCam. XD
I'm not interested in the Wii U at all, but i do hope it does well though for the people that want it
I came back to reminisce about the good times we had here.
PS4/PC >Wii U.
ea is crAP
Wii U>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all the trolling you immature people that know nothing about video games and it's history. Ijs.
Lighting the wrong end of a cigarette > Wii U
After the XBone reveal.
Balmer to Don: THAT conference was CRAP!! ALL that TV and SPORTS!! Do you know who is responsible for this?!!!
Don (recently returned from his FRENCH class): Qui, YOU!
i just got a wii not too long ago and i'm sad that i never picked it up sooner. the wii u could be great, however a console can't do well when there aren't any games to play on it XD
PS4 > WiiU > Xbox (N)one
Fuck EA anyway, who cares, Wii U could do without them anyway. They're just hurt because Nintendo told them to fuck off when EA asked if they could implement Origin on the Wii U and rightly so.
Disaster Movie (2008) > Wii U
You can't spell "WEAK" without EA.
i can't believe this, lol
People should have sticked to 2D games only > Wii U > Xbox One
xbox one<Wii U...face it you all know this is true
Wow with the Xbox One coming out I'd forgotten the Wii U existed.
Looks like the XBONE preowned article will surpass this one

Can Anyone beat this article?
Have to post here to add to the epicness of this article
Wii U > Xbox One.
The conference was bad because of the TV and other stuff. But the other stuff made it really bad.
M$ making me actually admit that the Wii u looks alot better and i rather give ninten-durrrrrrr my money. I kinda feel bad for picking on NOA for being dumb...but i do not feel bad at all the M$ hate at all, they deserve every bit of it.
> wii u
Going to other pages...seeing M$ fangirls actually TRY to defend the money grab and the shoebox, and posting the meme
> wii u
Finally, some peace and quiet. But there are still some Xbox/ Pc retards out here (which will probably reply).
The horrific fact that MS actually had company meetings and agreed on the name Xbox One! is....+/- .020 > Wii U
What the fukk! THIS IS STILL GOIN! Oh well lets see............
Getting Punk'd by somebody, sayin "your mom died " rushing to see her and getting killed for real in a car wreck. > Wii U
Microsofts reveal conference > Wii U
RareWare belongs to Nintendo > Wii U

god damnit my arm is hurting from holding shift so many times when I rpess the period button > WiiU
50 people listening > Wii U
Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien > Wii U
Day number 5 of these > Wii U
this is not dead yet > Wii U
I would enjoy the Wii-U more if they actually made games for it. So what if it doesn't wipe your ass, chew your food, or go to work for you. It has potential people just need to make stuff for it....Zombie U was great IMO and I'd love to see more like it.
PS2 > WiiU
WiiU is a piece of shit>WiiU
Thanks to the obvious failure that is XBOX ONE, Sheep and Wii U have been saved from a humiliating defeat. So on that note;
Wii U > XBOX Go home
1983 > WiiU
Wii U is getting bullied like heck does it really suck that bad.
Oh no! The Wii U isn't as powerful as other systems! It's obviously horrible! Ahh!
people please, don't make fun of this. Wii U is just a console it had done nothing wrong towards you. If this was a real person, you would be bullying. Please don't say anything bad, It is a trap.
