I was just thinking yesterday that we haven't heard any BS from Pachter in a while, and lo and behold, he appears like Beetlejuice or Candyman.

So he's going to conveniently ignore Nintendo's handheld dominance?

Not to mention, why does everyone forget that there are devs out there that appreciate one console being less powerful and cheaper to produce for, so they can put out projects that would never catch anyone's attention on the other consoles but would sting a lot harder if they don't meet expectations?

Is that really true though? I don't see why being less powerful would make any difference in making games. Besides that, the PC is the cheapest and easiest platform to produce games for, then the PS4 and Xbox One are the easiest to port to from PC. Wii U Is harder and likely more time consuming, and therefore more expensive..

I was thinking of the Wii. Mid-tier games like Rune Factory, Little King's Story, De Blob and so on were perfect for it because it gave devs an environment where they didn't have to produce games with astronomical budgets and expect unrealistic sales. You know, like the pre-HD days.
