^Actually what happened, is they wanted Nintendo to move in the direction of Sony and MS, more power, and thought Nintendo would do the same, but Nintendo was focusing on designing the Wii, and going for a less powerful system, so Factor 5 moved towards the more graphics powerful side, expecting Nintendo to do the same, only to find that Nintendo went for less power

I remember reading interviews with Factor5 in which they said they were dissapointed with Nintendo for not producing a more powerful system. They had already begun work on their next graphics engine and yes I would call it abandonment. Factor5 went ahead and wanted to make something beautiful and to create something state of the art, so they developed Lair. Of course this pretty much bankrupted them. The idea that Factor5 had staff to pay and stuff and that is why they made Lair instead of making something on Wii is ludacris. We all know that in order to profit on the PS3 you have to sell very well.

Yes, we know that, and we did even at the time. Factor 5's own chart shows that. But if they assumed that the next Nintendo system would be similar in scope to the HD systems, then it's irrelevant that the HD consoles demanded such vast resources, as Nintendo's system would be little better.
