| Mr Puggsly said: I'm open to better after about 5 years. We could have significantly better specs for about $350. Games on the new hardware would simply run higher graphics and performance. It can be that simple. |
It might hypothetically be that simple in your mind, but in reality it isn't. It's tons of additional work for developers to modify their engines and optimize their games for different specs when there is absolutely zero reason to think that additional work will increase profits. It's a waste of time and money for a development perspective. That's what this man is saying. This is what I have been saying based on my own experience making console video games.
And people here still think "it can be that simple". No it can't. Not without a significant amount of work that no one wants to pay for.
