EA surprised by success of Wii
Over at Bloomberg you can read an interesting article on how Electronic Arts, mother of all publishers, didn't see the potential of Nintendo's latest console.
Now that it seems the Wii is selling better than Bikkembergs T-shirts, EA wants nothing more than to join the hype and teams and games are being put together so they'll soon have more titles available for that console.
But EA clearly wasn't the only one that didn't expect the success:
The predicted dominance of the PS3 is clearly still some time away and publishers don't want to drop all their eggs in one basket.

But EA clearly wasn't the only one that didn't expect the success:
Nintendo's lead will widen, pressuring companies even more. Researcher IDC predicts Nintendo will ship 16.1 million players this year, outpacing Microsoft's 9.87 million Xbox 360s and Sony's 9.1 million PlayStation 3s. Wii game sales will total $2.2 billion, trailing only Xbox 360, said IDC, based in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Electronic Arts wasn't the only publisher slow to see Wii's appeal. New York-based Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., maker of ``Grand Theft Auto'' games, had no Wii titles when the player was released and now plans to have three this year, said spokesman Jim Ankner.
Activision Inc., based in Santa Monica, California, plans to release six Wii games this year, giving the second-largest publisher a total of 11, said spokeswoman Maryanne Lataif.

That's an excellent metaphor.
