So this thread implies that the ps2 gen should never have ended because there were more profits and dev costs were lower right? I blame M$ lol!

Nope, it's the admission of the EA CEO that they did not properly allocate development resources because they failed to recognize the market leader.

 

I actually wasn't referring to the OP. It was the trend of the subsequent posts.

You gotta admit though, it really all depends on the kind of game being developed. No one can argue that activision is extremely happy with their "gamble" on PS360 with COD4 after 10 mil copies. Does anyone really think that a wii version of that game could've generated more profit than just the 360 version by itself?

Yes, because COD5 is coming to the Wii.

 

I can bet all my assets that cod5 won't see profits anywhere close to cod4 and PS360 will definitely topple the wii version. hell the 360 version would definitely topple the wii version by iteself. I'm not too sure about the ps3 version doing any good because of the sheer amout of 1st/2nd party shooters in the same time period. All ps3 owners I know would take R2 over cod5.
