Reminds me of the sort of 'support' the Wii got in the early days. It's not the flood of third party support that had been rumoured; it feels weak, limited and very non-commital.

Power enough to produce 3rd party parity will lead to a flood of support all its own. Perhaps a poorly optimized flood, but a flood all the same. All the random junk that hits all consoles will hit there too, and that's the important takeaway
|
Parity will last for about a year (during which time WiiU looks to be getting a mix of old ports, day-and-date multiplats and some exclusives, which sounds like early years Wii to me), but then what happens when PS4/720 come around?
|
There's no reason to believe the PS4/720 will be much more powerful than Wii U, so ports will still be easily done. Look at PC games which can easily run on very weak graphics cards and very strong ones, as long as they have the same programming model...
Unless you believe that MS/Sony will go wild and make another expensive system...
|
And there is no reason to think 720/PS4 won't be.
If WiiU is just on par with PS360 now, and possibly better when it launches, 720/PS4 will launch in 2013 or later, that's a 7/8 year gap ... it's not just going to be a small upgrade like so many Nitnendo fans are hoping ... it's gonna raise the bar, again.
