| Ka-pi96 said: The current gen adoption rate was probably faster than devs predicted. But most of the cross gen games released so far would have been in development for a few years at least and some were probably being developed initially for last gen only and then ported up to current gen as well. There is also still a huge number of last gen consoles owners and the low cost of porting games compared to the potentially huge revenue they can get from last gen gamers makes it still very much worth it. |
Ah yes of course! I hadn't even considered the development cycle as a cause for the cross-gen releases, massive over-sight there! I also agree that developers have definitely been caught off-guard, particularly by the PlayStation 4's prodigious sales achievements to date.
