The funny thing about that is, for third-party publishers, the Wii is probably just as expensive as PS3 - if not more so - because you've got to downgrade all the graphics and change the control mechanism. I'm by no mean a Wii fanboy, but I have to disagree with this bitterly. Are you telling me Ninjabread man or Chicken Shoot downgraded their graphics? NO WAY, that's all their programmers are capable of. Nobody downgrades their graphics, they just don't have to try hard to make it look good, that's not hard to do. Changing control mechanism in most games are cheap too, instead of pressing "X"/"A" button for attack, you waggle your Wiimote, are you honestly telling me that's going to be expensive? In conclusive, No, he's wrong. |
He's talking about multiplatform titles (that's why he mentions downgrading the graphics and changing the control scheme). Basically what he's saying is that both the Wii and PS3 are different enough from PC/360 that it likely cost almost the same amount of money (or maybe even more in the Wii's case) for third parties to port games to those platforms.
