Publishers could just recognize the popularity of the Wii and design some games around the Wii running at 480p @30fps, and then release versions with higher detailed models and textures that run at 720p @60fps on the HD consoles. Its really not a revolutionary problem being that (for years) PC game developers have produced games that targeted the systems the typical user owned, while providing enhanced visuals for PCs that were only owned by a handful of people (or that weren’t even available yet). Consider a game like Half-Life 2 which ran on the original XBox, and yet it takes a system similar to the XBox 360/PS3 to play at its full detail, at a high resolution, with a constant frame rate at or above 60fps. |
developers are lazy, actually they just do one version PC version, that 360 can easily play, and then port in 3-6 months the same version to the ps3.
and bang in 1 year a game with pretty graphics.
certainly wii it's popular but when u have 64 million userbase, when more than 50% it's people that don't care about your (FPS,TPS,Action,Platforming, Racing,fighting). they will try to sell to that demographic to that demography, especially since games like wii fit, wii sport resort, and EA versions sell soo much.
wii does have it fair share of people that enjoy those kind of games, but the amount of people buying games the other kind of games it's much larger.
or make a lazy port and try to sell to those 2 consoles that that most if not all, enjoy.
