| JazzB1987 said: In theory they would need Nintendo (if they would finally start to bring games to Nintendo main consoles) becaue WiiU is less powerful and people would not expect graphics better than PS3 etc. PS3 level graphics would be enough. Japanese games are usually low budget when it comes to visuals and the PS4 is obviously alot more powerful than WiiU. Other than Final Fantasy that has massive budget most japanese companies would be wise to bring games to WiiU because there is less presure to deliver good graphics. (like the PSP vs DS in the past) |
Aside from some bigger publishers (Sony; Square Enix; Capcom; SEGA), a large portion of Japanese PS3 games are still sporting PS2-era graphics (see: Tales of/Monster Hunter/Gundam/Earth Defence Force/Way of the Samurai/Atelier/Neptunia/Disgaea/Legend of Heroes etc.) despite the PS3 being capable of much better graphics (see: pretty much anything else).
I don't see why an upgrade to PS4 would make them change their mind and jump ship. They didn't mind such a big gap this generation; I doubt they'll mind an even bigger gap next generation. Maybe not having to mess around with the cell processor will actually make things easier for them.
If "suitability of graphics for the hardware it's running on" was the criteria, Wii would've received a hell of a lot more third party support than it got.
