Sorry Squill, but itnot free, in fact it has a high cost, two reason, first the Wii is graphically very weak compared to the PS3, and secondly, even achieving a 50K sales on the PS3 for the wand for a ported Wii game will be difficult.

Even if the games exist on the Wii, the cost to upgrade graphics to PS3 level quality will b off the chart, and if you try to do a direct port, the graphical quality will be too low for people to want to buy the games, especially if they feel they have to buy an extra peripheral for the game.

I was talking about programming libraries. They are portable between the Wii and PS3 even if the graphics are not. Since they are paid for by expected Wii M+ adoption then it would cost them nothing extra to use them on the PS3. Graphics are irrelevant, this could just as easily apply to a PS3 exclusive game as it would to a game which is PS3 360 Wii.

I doubt the programming libraries between the Wii and the PS3 are all that similar, that they can just be moved without any cost, remember their hardware architecture and the game engines used by developers are very different, and for those who own the HD twins but not the Wii, graphics are very important, so game porting will require satisfactory graphics to warrant sales.

 

Also Montana, Malstrom may be arrogant, but he's been right as far as the Wii and gaming industry are concerned so far, that's why he gets posted, people like Bruceongames, have been wrong consistently, and as a result are not posted
