I only hope that they follow through with this and give 3rd parties the support they need! |
The third parties are getting the support they need. They are being more kind to them then microsoft currently are. They are promoting third party games more through adverts, directs, interviews, demos etc. They are paying them higher royalties for supporting the platform. And they are trying to make their online more appealing to indie devs then microsoft and sony are.
It isn't nintendo at fault. The people complaining about this need to start buying their multiplatform games on nintendo as they are given the option and 'mature' games will stick around. Frankly as far as I'm concerned it is getting too expensive to ignore nintendo anyway.

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.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. PS720 won't be a huge leap (though, they will be stronger than Wii U), and for several reasons: Sony can't afford making a costly system, so there's no need for MS to make one either, and developing for games are expensive at it is... But it sure will be interesting to see PS720!!
