EA tries to mislead, gets caught

Posted on Wednesday, 17 December 2008 by Speed, source: ASA

Tiger Woods on Wii not such great graphics apparently

The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has kicked Electronic Arts in the nuts and prohibited them from ever showing an advertisement for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 that supposedly was selling the Wii version but was in fact showing Xbox360 images instead.

The response EA gave to defend themselves is quite an embarassment for Nintendo's Wii:

"They explained that Wii footage would not be of broadcast quality, and the originating agency had thought it preferable to use the Xbox footage, which was closer to broadcast definition, than to 'up the resolution' of Wii footage to broadcast quality,"

Ouch!

Yep, just like what Sega did with Iron Man and Hulk for PC. They had 360 screens and trailers all over the place claiming that the PC version would be the same.
