Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS shows why PS4.5 might not be a good idea.

I never said I wanted "NOTHING". I would have preferred that HWL had launched exclusively on New 3DS.

No. That's not my point. Because it's not the case with the PS4.5 where it's going to make a difference in what games are created. We're never going to get a game that's exclusive to the PS4.5 regardless. But the consumer could very well be getting screwed over if developers don't take good care of how they're creating their games and focus on creating the PS4.5 version first instead of the focusing on the PS4 version first and then building up from it.

 

So you wanted NOTHING on the 3ds then? So you rather no game have come out - than one that at least some people may be enjoying?

I wanted nothing to come out on the standard 3DS. New 3DS exclusive would have been fine.

If the PS4.5 is happening, which it is, and it gets to the point where something isn't going to work out on the standard PS4, then I'd at least have liked that developers be transparent enough to admit that it just isn't going to work out on that standard version and make it exclusive to the platform where it will actually work. It will rarely ever get to that point, because the difference between the PS4.5 and the PS4 isn't great enough as to make games nearly unplayable on that version of the console, but it might. And that's one thing that I both like and dislike about Sony's policy on having to make both version of the game. It encourages making both version good, but on the other hand, if it just can't be accomplished on the standard version, that policy sets things back quite a bit.
