EA waiting to see demand before making more Switch games

Electronic Arts are back to their old tricks again. After releasing FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch just a couple of months ago, the company now says that it’ll wait until the Switch has been on the market a full year before deciding on whether to make any more games for the console beside FIFA 18.

Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, EA’s finance chief said it was too soon to judge the success of FIFA on the console and that it wants to “fully understand what the demand is” before they make any more decisions about making more games, let alone starting to develop them.

This news does, however, contradict what EA has said about the system in the past. Andrew Wilson the CEO of Electronic Arts said in May that;

We continue to be bullish on it and are looking at other titles that we might bring to the Switch

Six months is a long time ago and we don’t know how well or poorly FIFA 18 sold, this could have changed their outlook.
