Currently, the Wii does not meet those requirements, thus diversification would come at a cost. I read somewhere (sorry I cannot find it -- I was on a different computer) -- that costs continue to escalate for production of games ... so much so that the fear is that the era of vast, story driven, graphical masterpieces may be coming to an end. If you produced middleware for vast, story driven, graphical masterpieces and software that was considered the same, you would be upset over the little white box as well. Mike from Morgantown |
I doubt it. So long as theres money in producing those games, they will still be produced. The only difference will be that there could only be say 3 produced in a year instead of 5 or 6 and that they would tend to belong to long running series. An example of this is Final Fantasy, standing proudly astride the burning wasteland which is the JRPG market on consoles.
Tease.
