| AndreRichards said: The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Right now, the gaming world is fractured into the hardcore crowd and the family/casual gaming crowd. Wii U has more or less cornered the family/casual gaming end of things and PS4 is trouncing XBox One with the hardcore gamers. If you were in charge of EA, would you support two platforms that catered to the same crowd? Doesn't make any sense. You'd reach the widest audience by supporting the PS4 and Wii U without the added expense of a third console. |
I've heard this argument before, but really, how much can it possibly cost to port a game to XBOne? Its practically identical to the ps4, and we already heard ubi saying that Wii u ports cost around a mil, so I can't imagine it'd cost too much more than that for the One. There's basically a guarantee that most devs will make back the porting cost. Add to that all the marketing assistance and other "incentives" that M$ offers, and I don't see any chance of them losing third party support this gen, even if they sell under a forth of what Sony does.
Also, “Nintendo was dead to us very quickly. It became a kids IP platform and we don’t really make games for kids."
Straight from the horse's mouth.
