Ok so every week we get explained how it is cheaper and faster to develop for the Wii yet all over this thread people quote development times for Wii AAA titles that are equal to HD consoles AAA development times...

So which is which ?
Is it only cheaper and faster to develop shovelware on the Wii, but the real games take as long to make as those on HD consoles or what ?

Viper it´s time to bite again, I let you have the honours of this prey.


Typical number we see from Wii fans is that it is 1/3rd cheaper to develop on the Wii.

This would mean that it requires 3 times less man-hour to develop a Wii game than an HD game.

Now some of the development time can't be compressed ( like the QA period at the end).

But anyway based on those numbers you would expect AAA Wii titles to go faster to develop. 

 


As they do, instead of the 3+ years it would take 2+ years and since Wii come in to it´s leadership last year they started aboút that time (if they did at all, which I belive they did) that would mean that sometime this fall next spring we should start seeing and hearing about theese known AAA franchises to emerge on the Wii.
