Unless of course PC is the primary dev platform in which case the devs will port to PS4 with a small to moderate downgrade, and then further downgrade to WiiU/Xbone level performance. It still really comes down to whose exclusive library you prefer. And if MS is buying up some 3rd party exclusives it means they'll be looking for those exclusives to really deliver. Reliability is a something on which MS can't afford to fall down. You can't release 2 systems in a row with a high failure rate and expect to sell big numbers. So powering down a bit to ensure low failure rates is totally worth the trade off. |
That has nothing to do with power. Even if the performance was cut to half it wouldn't mean anything for the Wİi U. The architectures are completely different. This will just mean decreased resolution and lower performance for the 3rd party games (if true, of course).
