Of there is a ceiling, but developers won't reach it so easily.

Of course not. Most of them won't have the money to get there.

I've complained about Nintendo's lack of variety, but that's a different beast.  I have nothing against Nintendo, and wouldn't mind having a Wii U if they end up having more RPGs this gen than the others, which looks possible.  I also don't complain about platformers existing, I have zero problem with that.  Less than zero problem, actually, because I think all genres have a right to exist and that having more types of games improves gaming as a whole.  I just don't care much for plat-formers personally but that's not the same as hating them.

So, no, not hypocritical at all.

 

 

If you don't care much about something, you will rarely talk about it. If you talk a lot about something, then you either like or dislike it. You've talked enough about platformers in your time here for virtually every active member to know that you really dislike the genre. Your complaints about Nintendo's lack of variety are in essence complaints about the existence of platformers. There aren't many of these games in the retail space anymore, but you still make it often enough a point that you would rather see other games in their place.

Exactly. Publishers need to set realistic budgets based on how they expect these games to sell. This goes for both weak and powerful systems.
