| homer said: Worst case scenario is that people decide to port ps3/360 games to the cafe, making its library extremely similar to the competition, and no one decides to upgrade because 3rd parties are unwilling to put effort into using the wii2 to its full potential/the better version. It simply becomes a port machine. Then ps4/xbox 3 come around offering better graphics and such. 3rd parties jump onto these consoles and the wii 2 gets dumbed down ports like the wii. After the gen is over, we realize that the only people who actually used the wii 2 to its full potential was nintendo... This is off topic, but I think the xbox 3 will win next gen only because of weak competition. It may be too early, but remember this either so you can laugh at me in the future, or so you can praise my random guess that happened to be correct... |
They wouldn't need to dumb down ports. Look at PC games, the same game easily runs on graphics cards which are 4 or 8 times as powerful as their minimum requirements, just by adding a few effects, increase texture detail a bit and improving anti-aliasing.
As Viper1 said, as long as the architectures are reasonably similar ports will be easy to make without really changing the games. Will the graphics be slightly worse? Yes... but most people wouldn't notice.
