sc94597 said: For those interested in a home-console form-factor and also want the home-console form-factor to be more powerful (not a PSTV situation), would you support a 3DS/new 3DS situation where the form factor has exclusive titles, or would you oppose that? (The business sensible decision seems to me that one should oppose it.) In other-words, should Nintendo obligate developers (and have it a policy for themselves) to only allow games to be released that work on all form-factors? As an additional scenario, should Nintendo require minimum performance standards on all form-factors so that developers don't target a higher form-factor and release something broken on the weaker form-factors? One of the scenarios I think Nintendo would absolutely have to avoid is a situation like when Cyberpunk 2077 released where the game was functionally unplayable on base 8th gen systems and barely playable on the mid-gen upgrades, as it targeted 9th Gen platforms. That is why something like an upgradeable dock, that allows for better power-scaling sounds like a better solution to me, as it forces developers to make sure that the game plays well in handheld mode, basic console mode, and higher-TDP console mode, as a person might play the game in any of these settings. |
That's not likely to happen anymore. just looks at PS5 vs PS4 it's generation leap in power yet almost every game can be ported to ps4.
