Electronic Arts recently had a conference call with analysts regarding some of its more recent (and more popular) titles, and we're here to give you the lowdown on what sort of talk was tossed around during that fateful conversation. We've already covered the part where they talked about the challenges they had with the Sony PlayStation 3, and now we're moving on to Rock Band (Xbox 360, PS3) breakdowns, a potential Wii version, and Spore (PC, Mac, DS, Wii).
Yes, you read that right. The Nintendo Wii is getting a Rock Band of its very own, confirmed by none other than Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello. No, we didn't quite get a release date, but the fact that a Wii version of the highly-popular rhythm game should be enough to tide us over until more info comes along.
With that out of the way, let's talk Rock Band instrument breakdowns. In the conference call, Riccitiello reported that the amount of instrument breakdown complaints are seriously overstated, with the numbers only reaching the single digits. If anything, the breakdowns themselves are not the reason for the delay of Rock Band's European release.
As for Spore, Will Wright's upcoming epic about creature evolution, Riccitiello seemed a bit cautious as to the status of the game. He said that they're paying enormous attention to it, and that he's confident it will be released before the holidays. This is a bit strange to say, in contrast to an earlier statement of his that puts Spore's release date as somewhere near March, April, or May.
Well, that's some of the big news doled out by the conference call. Keep it locked right here for more developments as they happen.

As for GH3 that can't be found anywhere... keep in mind that the Wii version has stop shipping until mid feburary, when they fix that mono sound issue. Still the game sold amazingly well on the Wii and it's not only people who played it at friends house on the 360 or PS3...
