| SaviorX said: Nintendo was getting shafted for about 20 years, but now, after all this time, there is no valid reason in terms of why they cannot be supported. The power level of all 3 consoles (Wii U, Xbox8, PS4) will be near parity. Dev costs are even more astronomical, so being able to support THREE HD consoles will pay even greater dividends than it did in this current gen. Nintendo has provided 3 applicable control schemes (Gamepad, Wii U Pro/Dual Analog, Wiimote+Accessories) so input is no longer an issue. Online capabilities may not be as good as Xbox Live, but is much improved. I am really interested to know what the potential issue is this time. RAM? Please. At the end of the day, you just have to admit that you hate doing business with a company instead of feigning support for them with half-assed games (EA & Joe Montana Football anyone?). |
The way its looking the Wii U will not be at parity with the next Xbox and PS4. The Wii U ports are barely holding their own with current gen consoles outside of being outsold. RAM is a major issue for western devs, including western devs who make powerful PC games. Japanese devs can handle scaling back because they know their market in Japan and what they must do, but with western devs it seems to be an issue these days and they dont care if the Japanese aren't buying it.
