happydolphin said: If I'm not mistaken, those are called 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation games on a same platform. I could be wrong. So it kind of proves the point that with progress comes the definition of a generation within a context. |
But you say, that the new console-gen is needed, because the hardware of the old gen limited the games. You didn't answer, why the first games hitting a new console are at first mainly the same games as last gen and could in most cases be easily programmed for last-gen-platforms (and often are, as multiplats for last-gen and new-gen consoles). So it seems, the game-developer aren't really limited.
