EA Sports' Peter Moore On The Struggle Of Selling Sports Games To Wii Owners

Wii - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 - EA Sports' Peter Moore On The Struggle Of Selling Sports Games To Wii Owners

There seems to be a problem when the latest "Madden" sells more than two million copies on PS3, Xbox 360 and PS2 combined in the U.S. in August this year - and just a little over 100,000 on the Wii according to sales-tracker NPD.

A few years ago, that kind of sales misery on a Nintendo console would be okay. For a long time, sports games on Nintendo consoles just didn't sell.

But given that "Wii Sports" sparked Nintendo's GameCube-to-Wii console resurrection, it seems like sports games can sell on the Wii.

Wii - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 - EA Sports: Athletes Must Smile On Wii Game Boxes

Tracey John writes:

"In reviewing the box art of new game releases every week, we noticed that every EA Sports "All-Play" cover for the Wii features a smiling athlete.

It's even more noticeable if you compare them to the covers of the same titles released on other platforms.

Wii - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 to Feature Unique Club Tuner

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 features Club Tuner which gives gamers the opportunity to calibrate their clubs to fit their personal tendencies and preferences. Players can test and customize their driver, fairway woods, irons and wedges. If the gamer doesn't want to invest a lot of time customizing their clubs, their performance coach Hank Haney, can also provide recommendations on the optimal settings for each of their clubs.

Players will be able to tweak the sliders on five club attributes: power, workability, loft, spin and bias, therefore allowing the gamer to maximize their equipment for various types of conditions or courses. But strategy will come into play as gamers must weigh the risks of club performance versus ease of use. So tune wisely!

"We just got a peek at a Wii-exclusive series of games from EA aimed at solving the eternal dilemna of gaming mismatches.

Sorry, I am sure she's like very famous and is deserving of my memory. Kill me."
