Aiming for top products on Wii, gaming's biggest living room console, is a no-brainer, EA boss John Riccitiello has told Gamasutra.

"It's the first time a third party has been number one on the Wii platform two weeks in a row," he said of the success of EA Sports Active since launch.

"The number one platform is expanding the market, and growing. Having a lead position there seems like an obvious thing for us to do."

The exec said EA's cracked the Wii formula, something that's proven evasive for many third-parties.

"No ports and pushes - do things that optimize against the controller system inherent in the wand and nunchuk."
