However, since this gen is supposedly half over (or at least major publishers like Ubisoft believe so) I don't see much changing in how ports are done in the next 3 years. The majority will lead on 360, and Wii will get the bulk of exclusives. |
Not wishing to derail this thread, but I find it hard to believe this gen is half over, it still feels like it is warming up!
Back to topic:
This gen is different to the last ones cos you have one console that has gone a different direction to the others and hence it's not feasible to port from one to the other and make minor tweaks along the way. You effectively have 2 streams : 360,PS3 & PC and the Wii.
The likely result is Wii specific versions of games or exclusives.
I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.
Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
