Dispelling the myth: The Wii market is (NOT) bigger than the HD twin market

Dead Rising on Wii, that is what happens when you try downport a HD console game that makes real use of the system.

Sure a game with very little resources, done quick and dirty and utilized RE4's engine... an engine first used on Gamecube. Sorry, but that is not a good example.

COD games are still a far better example.

No, they really aren't because on a technical level they are lazy efforts for HD consoles.  The graphics have never been great and every one of them is sub HD.

The "HD" part is not the concern though. That's the part that would be removed and down-ported. The question is surrounding the rest of the gameplay and the only one out of the bunch (ignoring multiplayer) that I would be sceptical of is AC due to its vast overworld with tons of computer driven people. Sure the AI is simple for the most part, but it is still very large and a big reduction in that would have changed the game itself.

However, other FPS, TPS, batmans, and so on had worlds that were more limited and a downgrade of visuals would have been more sufficiant. Could of left out multiplayer in most as they are primarily solo experiences anyways.

Again, its a futile argument as it was never done. 3rd parties proved their own truth by never catering to core on Wii and it vanished early.
