One thing which needs to be considered is how the differences between the development budgets and timelines for Wii and HD consoles will impact the generation. Wii development is cited to be between 1/4 and 1/2 of the cost of PS3 and XBox 360 development which is partially due to smaller development teams, and is also due to shorter development times. Wii development is similar to previous generation games which (for big budget games) had development teams of 40 to 60 people working 12 to 18 months (for the most part); in contrast many of the big budget PS3 and XBox 360 titles have had development teams of over 100 people, and have taken 24 to 36 months to complete. What this means is that a similar investment from publishers in Wii projects will end up producing 2 to 4 times as many games of a similar scale and quality as it would if invested in PS3 and XBox 360 projects. In other words 'This generation is not like the previous generations because a minor shift in publishers towards the Wii will result in a massive shift in library size and quality' ... |
I will agree that the Wii will see a massive increase in quantity. Quality so far, it hasn't been the case aside from the home games... Having a Wii is like watching Sci-Fi, you get kick ass exclusives like Battlestar Galactica or Star Gates but you have to deal with a lot of shitty stuff like Dr Who or the weekly satursday evening movie. And you never get to watch any of the non SciFi big budget production.... |
This is how it goes and I don't know how you got the idea you have. Stargate>Dr Who>>>>>>> Then the soap opera that is bsg.
