| DanneSandin said: As you can see CoD only sold less and less - but they did make a profit for Activion, yes. But how come Rock* didn't port the game then, if it almost definitely would make a profit? Especially if Nintendo wanted R* as a 3rd party partner... @Viper1 I guess this question/statement is directed to you as well... |
1. Game engines. Treyarch ported over Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare engine (IW Engine) to the Wii. Notice how none of the IF developed games were ported to the Wii unless Treyarch did the porting? With GTAIV, the full game engine was not easily ported to the Wii which led to only their Table Tennis game supporting it on Wii.
2 Game assets. For HD games to be ported to the Wii, almost every single game asset had to be redrawn, remodeld and reanimated. Basically, you had to completely rebuild the game.
On Wii U, neither of these will be a problem. Game einges and game assets are incredibly easy to port over. Many developers have alrady stated they are amazed how fast they were able to get their games up and running on the Wii U. It took a very small team just a couple of weeks to get the game up and running.
