EA already said from last year their main goals are to make games that will have multiplayer even if it doesn't need it (ex. Dead Space 2), their main priority is shooters (ex. CoD killer) and sports, and more involvement in the PS3 (#1 in sales for them last year).
Mirror's Edge 1 was pretty successful as a phone game so it might also make sense they couldn't get a good phone version of the game ready with ME 2.
EA is also similar to Activision and a few others who want instant mega sales instead of slower burners like Capcom and Nintendo.
