Exclusive EA games arriving on Nokia Windows Phone devices

At Nokia World last week, Nokia announced its very first Windows Phone devices, which will be preloaded with some of the company’s own apps. Now, it looks like those Nokia apps aren’t going to be the only exclusive apps on the phones. EA Games has announced that it will be bringing exclusive games to Nokia WP devices. The lineup will consist of titles from EA, Chillingo and Hasbro though it wasn’t specifically mentioned what they would be.

It seems like Nokia’s way of winning the market share from other WP device manufacturers is by providing exclusive content and I think it’s a good plan. But Windows Phone users who don’t own Nokia devices will probably be upset if their favorite game doesn’t work on their phone just because it’s a different brand. What do you think about the EA-Nokia exclusivity?
