Why do you think that!? One year is more than enuf time to make ports for NX, especially if NX have similar power and architecture to X1/PS4. |
I'm assuming that Ninty sent kits to other devs too, and that if it won't be EA or Activision or any other giant, at least a few other 3rd parties, smaller and less haughty than the big ones, will be willing to make at least a few titles either full or timed exclusive, and so developed on NX first, for launch or launch window, so they'll need the full two years of a average dev cycle. About ports, yes, particularly for EA and Activision serial, overmilked, annual sports and FPS titles, one year shoiuld largely be more than enough, but I guess Ninty will want those titles just to avoid that NX be the only one not getting them, but it will rely on far different stuff, both 3rd and 1st party, to make it different. Hence my assumption about giving devs two years, I'm not giving EA more credit than due, but just using them as a clue about devkits having been sent to other devs too some months ago and that at least a few of the latter will be more committed to NX development than EA (not an outlandish and unlikey assumption 
).
