Anyone who denies that this had an influence on company decisions is a turd. But, it isn't the be all end all. If graphics don't cut it, EVEN THEN, devs should support the market leader no matter what. Especially when graphics don't define games. Art direction, physics, and all shouldn't be antic, but Wii gen is perfectly suitable to make an appealing game, minus the extra photo-realism. Granted you will lose some features (draw distance, increased on-screen characters, processor-intensive AI), but what you spare your resources on, you can dedicate to even more important tasks and features, so long as the physics and graphics aren't broken. |
Absouletly, but I would challenge that and say that they DID support it, there are more Wii games released than that others. Now they might not be the games that the forum dwellers want, but I think its crazy to believe that 3rd parties were NOT putting out games on the system that simply isnt true. And what isnt true is that there is some plan to conspire against Ninty, like Capcom, EA, UBi, Sega etc gather in some Legion of Doom hideout and plot on Ninty, thats ridiculous especially considering the support DS got and even the consoles prior.
graphics dont define games, but hardware does, and thats th problem. The Wii hardware was already far outdated by the time it had released. YOu mention resources but you still need powerful hardware to run said resources. I find it mind boggling when some people say why they have no GTA4 or Skyrim on Wii. THese people obviously are just trolling, dont have a HD or PC system and understands how much more advanced those games are than anything Wii is capable or just flat out stupid.
