Doesn't matter if Nintendo sells an infinite number of Wiis, plenty of game makers aren't going to massively water down their games. It's a matter of integrity. If all artists looked at the potential audience for their art, we'd never have any R-rated films with big budgets, we'd be stuck with nothing but G-rated kiddie trash for casuals. No, they purposely limit their audience because it allows them to present their vision to the audience the way it's supposed to be seen. The PS2 argument doesn't hold water either -- its hardware capabilities might have been weaker than the Xbox or GameCube, but it was still in the ballpark. Continuing the metaphor, the Wii's basically in the minor leagues compared to the 360 or PS3. |
Fine, you want to compare in the ballpark: How about the PSone. It's power comparison to the N64 (and graphical capabilities difference) is almost exactly the same as the Wii to the 360 and PS3. Sure the N64 had some great games, in fact it had some industry defining games, but where did MOST good games go? It was not the much hardware superior N64, which was more expensive to develop for and had a smaller user base. The Wii has a better GPU than the old Xbox did. Was the Xbox only capable of kiddy graphics? Of course not. You should pay more attention to the history of gaming. Not much ever changes.
