EA says Nintendo listened to third parties with Switch, EA involved in 'the whole process'

Coming from EA's Patrick Soderlund...

“I only spoke about FIFA today, but our company’s structure lets us release all sorts of games for every platform, so we’ll go wherever the gamers go. I think Nintendo Switch will put Nintendo at the forefront of the game industry once again. Their approach is quite different from anything they’ve done in the past – they’ve listened to EA, Activision, and other companies since the beginning of the Switch’s development, so we’ve been involved throughout the whole process. They teamed up with us because they wanted to guarantee the console would be successful. Doing business with Nintendo is very important for us… We’d like to bring more and more games over for everyone.”

I know EA is only going to say nice things about Nintendo and push out a lot of PR speak, but hopefully what Mr. Soderlund said is true. I'm really hoping Nintendo reached out to the bigger third parties to have them weigh in on what they want, as well as concerns.
