If you can't provide an adequate argument within a viable context, then you've no argument. HD Gaming is something that doesn't just affect console cost but development costs. Where as the Wii has become an island of sorts this generation for developers to find sanctuary in, had they embraced HD graphics, they would have severly hindered the Wii's success as it stands and allowed 360 and PS3 to compete with the Wii at their own game, not Nintendo's. In addition, All three consoles embracing HD would have ensured a greater market crash then we are seeing now. Graphics are not so much the problem for the Wii but developers not trying to make full use of what is there or put serious projects on the Wii. Third Party developers are the greatest X-factor this generation for the Wii. |
the wii didn't have to be as powerful as the hd consoles but powerful enough to be able to port it games. a single core 3.2ghz 512DDR2 ram would have been enough. but nintendo decide to get bigger profits.
also trying to port a ps360 game would require to make everything again, from the engine textures, modeling ,animations etc with the wii as it's now.
its not developers not trying to push it, but it would bring their profits down making a wii version also the wii demographic is a blue ocean even having double the sales of the ps3 any third party, fifa,madden shooters, any "hardcore" title sell better in it.
porting from ps3 <-->360 is easy , cut the resolution a bit, tweak the physics AI,etc.
its better to make a wii dedicated exclusive marketed to the demographic, that will likely bring profits.
