Sports Active helps Wii shine for EA

Its success has not only validated EA’s earlier statement of intent to increase its focus on Nintendo’s home platform but also propelled the company to the position of most successful third party publisher on Wii.
 
As a result, EA’s overall Wii revenues were up year-on-year for the quarter ending June 30th, climbing from $109m last year to $161m in 2009.

The publisher also admitted that it has shifted extra development sources over to its Sports Active team, with the result being a delay on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Grand Slam Tennis.
