Well, my problem actually lies within Nintendo (or did with the Wii). The problem was that Wii lacked the power to get good ports, and if the WIi U follow suit we'll have yet another Wii situation - except that WIi U won't be able to sell as well... |
True that is the danger, although the thing is that both Sony and MS sort of realize that the next generation isn't exactly going to be the same leap that previous ones were due to costs. Sony and MS could create systems that more then triple the output of their current devices but in doing so run the risk of pricing out developers. This is especially a danger in Japan, where most development has shifted over to portables not just because of esthetics of smaller devices but because developers are not seeing or liking the higher risks of throwing tons of money or development time into games, especially with the home market of Japan leaning toward genres that don't require such.
We see it as well in how many studios are getting shut down because despite putting massive amounts of effort and money into their projects and may not get a profitable return. Sony and MS are going to milk their current systems as long as possible until they get an idea on how to combat Nintendo and each other.
