During the three month period between July and September, games publisher EA recorded a total loss of $273 million, despite revenues netting $695 million. Still, the net loss was increase of 28% over the last quarter.

Just how much of this bank was aided by Nintendo’s home console platforms? Well, according to the corporation’s latest financial report, only $9 million of the netted $695 million came from Wii and Wii U software. Perhaps shockingly, Nintendo handhelds accounted for slightly less of EA’s mobile sales than Sony’s handhelds which were 6 and 8 per cent respectively.

The total proportion of sales per format, provided by CVG, came be seen below:

PC – 39.4%

Xbox 360 – 24%

PlayStation 3 – 18.8%

Mobile – 10.8%

\’Other\’ – 3.6%

Wii – 1.3%

PlayStation handhelds – 1.0%

Nintendo handhelds – 0.7%

PlayStation 2 – 0.3%

While EA reassured Nintendo console owners a couple months back that it is still developing games on Wii U, these results are unsurprising to say the least, as, while perhaps for EA’s sake, they did not support Nintendo’s platforms as well as they did the others, with unfortunate events, such as Mass Effect 3 Special Edition being almost deliberately sabotaged by the soon after release of the Mass Effect Trilogy for every other current generation platform besides the Wii U, taking place. The trend didn\’t come to any type of close, with a ready-to-be-published Crysis 3 for Wii U being canned, Madden NFL 2014 skipping Wii U, FIFA 14, while making it on the Wii and 3DS, ultimately skipping the Wii U, and, more recently, the discovery of a canned Wii U exclusive modeled after TIE Fighter and X-Wing titled Wingman.

While insisting that they have a \”tremendous relationship\” with Nintendo, EA didn\’t themselves any favors in the PR department when they allowed debilitating statements about the Wii U, such as one of their software engineer calling the Wii U \”crap\” and \”Less powerful than an Xbox 360.\” to go almost completely under the radar.

All these negative instances haven\’t prevented Nintendo from selling 300,000 Wii U units in the last financial quarter, an 87% increase on its last quarter.
