I completely dissagree. Spin-offs are pointless, everyone wants the real deal. The spin-offs always sell poorly. It's actually Nintendo's major 3rd party problem. Wii would get FF:CC while PS360 would get FF13. Which would you pick up? |
I don't think you really get it if you disagree because of that. If you are making a game the same across all platforms but some platforms are more powerful than others, the one most people will get will be the one that looks the best. Sales of the other versions will suffer because of it. So, instead, the idea is to make a spin-off for the lesser-powerful system to boost sales for the software on the other platform, and potentially boost sales of the original as well. Just doing straight porting is going to most likely be a waste of money as we see most people don't spend their time going after an "inferior version."
edit: Also, if a game is good enough people will buy the spin-off version... especially if said spin-off version isn't some total BS.

Actually, I think most people will buy the cheapest version. And most people won't buy two systems, so having a spin-off on a seperate system is stupid. And the sales support this.

Maybe publishers should make all of their Wii U ports significantly cheaper than the other versions. That would be a good way to boost sales.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
