How will that gimp the sales?

They're obviously trying to bolster the sales of NBA Live 11 by adding in an HD version of NBA Jam. Let's face it, it really costs nothing for them to essentially port over a Wii title to PS3/360. This way they give people extra incentive to get NBA Live, considering it comes with NBA Jam.

This just means they're not confident that A) NBA Jam would sell on PS3/360 or that NBA Live 11 will sell. So doing a 2 for 1 type of thing solves that.

Besides, they're both made by EA - and EA will make boatloads of money from the people who buy Jam for the Wii, and from people who buy Live on the 360/PS3 - so if they want to include Jam with Live as an extra incentive, this just means they'll make even more money, in theory.
