I think when the first time WiiU come, it will flood with port of PS360 games, with the same quality or maybe lower graphic quality. Like PS3 at first, we didn't see any games with better graphic on PS3 than X360. If WiiU pick-up, I think developer will starting to make WiiU the definitive version and then port to another console.

This makes sense. I don't want to be optimistic, but there is a difference to consider in this case. The Cell processor have a very complicate and different architecture (compared to PCs and X360), so it was only natural developers needed some time to get accostumed to it. The WiiU architecture (according to the developers feedbacks) it's made to be as easy as possible to work with.

I know. But I still think in the PS3 case is just an excuse for developer. They just don't do that more because there is not enough install base for PS3 at that time. I think if PS3 pick-up like how Wii start before, they will overcome how hard the SDK. And yes, of course, the fact that it is harder to develop in PS3 than other is still the resason.

In this WiiU case, it costly effective to develop one game with the same asset in all console than they first made the hi-res one then convert to lower-res for another platform.
