Squilliam I need you to tell me if you're serious.

A reply would take up a lot of energy and I don't want to waste it.

bdbdbd: Well, I like to think they're trying to some degree. Maybe not hard enough.

Serious, yes.

 

 

All right.

Here goes:

...Why in the world do you think that a less powerful system is necessarily less developer-friendly? Does working with an achitecture so similar to the Gamecube really make it that difficult to put effort behind a game?

Perhaps the better question is this:

Why is return on effort measured on a technological scale? The Wii has gameplay options that the other two consoles simply don't have: can't return on effot just be the realization of gameplay that couldn't be done otherwise?
