Well, yeah, it doesn't directly affect me either, as I haven't bought a sports game in 7 or 8 years (the last sports game I bought was NBA Jam TE for GB in 1995...), but yes, it is a very bad blow for Nintendo... it'll REALLY hurt people's view on the console to see a whole lineup of games like that vanish... many of them very good. While in some categories (like baseball) there is still plenty of titles, some genres are now left to EA alone... especially since Nintendo seems to have pretty much stopped making its own sports games. Not good for sports games fans or Nintendo's image.
