Who knows, but I think we are reaching the point where budgets and dev times supercede the hardware. Not even developers like Capcom can afford to make $300+ million the norm for every new game, so how are they eventually even supposed to top like GTAVI even 7-8 years down the line. It doesn't work. Nintendo I think is going to have an interesting future because I think the movie business is going to go extremely well for them and things like Mario CG movie sequels and the Zelda movie and probably eventually a Smash Bros. CG movie will put some pressure on them to keep having better graphics that more stay in line with the movie versions of their characters. Other regular 3rd parties though ... I think many of them (you can put Square-Enix in this category) are fucked. They can't afford those kinds of budgets with the limited audiences they have. |
That future sounds like a disaster because if Nintendo has to push those kind graphics that Means way more time for games to come out with a much bigger budget and ninetndo relies mainly in its first party. They are just falling into the problem everyone else is dealing with .
