傳聞EA欲說服任天堂在Wii U上獨佔使用Origin

傳聞稱,EA正在與任天堂談判,將其數字化配送服務Origin帶到Wii U上。

這個消息來自於一向可靠的WiiUGo網站,該網站聲稱這則曝料是由任天堂新主機的一位網絡工程師泄露出來的:任天堂和EA正在談判。EA正在幫助任天堂建設Wii U的在線服務已經是公開的秘密了。它將提供語音視頻聊天的支持,排行榜,以及可以顯示細節內容朋友列表——告知你誰上線了以及他們正在玩哪些遊戲。這個服務目的是向廠商提供較Xbox Live更具靈活性的在線平臺

據這位相關人士介紹,EA希望增加其在線平臺的用戶羣,而任天堂則可以以此爲契機逐漸穩固與歐美玩家之間的關係。另外,Valve也對把Steam搞到Wii U上很感興趣,但是“EA正積極說服任天堂在Wii U上獨佔使用Origin,這樣他們可以獲得較Steam更多的競爭優勢”。

目前仍不清楚如何使Wii U上的Origin跟PC上的Origin之間有任何差異化。

EA is in talks with Nintendo to bring its digital distribution service, Origin, to the Wii U, a new rumour report claims.

That's according to the usually reliable leak source WiiUGo, which claims it's been tipped off by a network engineer working closely with Nintendo's new console that the platform holder and EA are in talks.

According to the source, EA's looking to increase the userbase of its online platform and Nintendo could see this as an opportunity to build upon its relationship with Western gamers.

Supposedly, Valve is also interested in getting Steam on the platform, but EA is "aggressively persuading Nintendo to go Origin exclusive with the Wii U's online so they can gain a competitive advantage over Steam."

We're not sure what to make of this one. What do you think readers? Would you want to see Origin as the exclusive Wii-U online platform?
