| Chandler said: Can you honestly imagine Nintendo spending millions just for a third party game which isn't even that big outside of Japan? Nintendo is way too stingy for moneyhatting games. I think capcom did go 3DS because a) They were assuming the 3DS would just like the DS dominate the handheld market and b) they can pretty much reuse the PSP engine. It's just a smart business decision, nothing more. |
As this is the region giving them the most money due to currency exchange rates I think it would be smart of them and possibly a great investment. Not to mention completely stalling their handheld competition in the only region a handheld has ever challenged them.
They could use the PSP engine on PSV too. It wouldn't be the first game released on PSV to use PSP level graphics. Maybe slap on some HD textures and AA wouldn't be too expensive to implement and make a world of difference. Also given the PSP late blossoming in Japan the smartest business decision for them would have been to not assume one way or other and support both platforms.
