EA will resume Wii U support when it's 'a viable platform'

Personally I think not having EA is a plus for any platform but their recycled titles do sell.

Taking into account EA is the biggest independent game publisher, EA's support is extremely important to any console, frankly. Although I dislike 99% of EA's games, many people evidently do like them, so people who do want to play Fifa etc aren't going to buy the U as a result.
Further to that, as the biggest independent games publisher, EA has a lot of influence among other game developers and publishers - especially smaller ones. If the smaller developers & publishers see that EA is not supporting the Wii U, then inevitably they will follow suit.
We'll see EA on the U again after Christmas. There will be a big Wii U rush as it is the cheapest console option (and it will more than likely have a price cut) as well as the usual console sellers, Mario, Zelda etc etc.
Well, you sale says increased dramatically. According to Amazon's mover list, it increased 800% initially after the Xbox 1 announcement, however, considering how poor the console was selling initially, an 800% increase could literally be a 100 console difference than previous. On top of that, sites said 800%, but when I checked it was only a 300% increase, but regardless, without solid figures, a percentage isn't representative of anything.
The U also fell completely out of the Amazon Movers ranking a few days later (Amazon displays the top 100 in the gaming section).
Any sources that state numbers by any chance? I'd genuinely be interested.
The only link I had was Amazons sales chart at the time, that's obviously changed now.
