A webcam isn't standard with any game console, however the Wii comes standard with a Wii-mote, thus IMO there could be enough incentive for 3rd parties to port motion sensing Wii games to the PS2 and include the graphically higher quality graphics and sound for the higher end systems. Rather than creating new art for the high end platforms, it may be easier to create the high quality art first and then downgrade this to Wii/PS2 specifications. IMO it would expand the market for Wii-mote-like motion sensing enabled games. |
Except (of course) that no publisher in their right mind is going to spend $10 Million (or potentially more) to create graphically enhanced versions of a game to target a userbase of less than 5 Million people. I have used the exact same logic to explain why the Wii Fit Balance board must be bundled with the Wii upon release in order to encourage third party development for it ...
Games have become a very serious business where ever decision has to make financial sense and the interests of the shareholder have become the primary concern; you're not going to see a third party publisher take the risk and release a game that requires an add on that isn't included with the game.
