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.

Oh right, that's fair enough. The Wii was almost certainly easier (and cheaper) to develop for than the PS3, and probably the 360 as well.

Fixed.
