Terrible argument, seeing as the majority of the must-have titles on Wii come from first-party developmers.
It's just absolutely not true. Money has alot to do with the development process of games these days, but saying "it'll be a better game because on wii we get to try less" doesn't make any sense at all. The Wii and DS are saturated with shitty games.
I can't think of any instances of that happening coming to mind aside from Monster Hunter, honestly. I know PLENTY of instances of games going to PSP instead of PS3 for development costs and risks, though.Nintendo makes it easy with the dev kits they push out. But for sony and 360 they have to spend huge amounts of money which is why alot of games usually get cancelled or move to the wii. I.E Monster hunter.
And capcom is a pretty big developer, I attribute most of MH3 going to wii with lazyness on their part.
You know, even back during the days BEFORE 360/PS3, a large game still had a pretty hefty price tag on it's development. The HD era has made some things a bit more tedious, but thats about it. Things get more difficult to keep up with due to previous limitations not existing anymore.I think alot of devs are gonna jump ship when the budget cost for ps4 and Xbox (whatever) comes out.
But the funny part about you saying this is, the Wii is so deprived of videogames right now BECAUSE the system hardware is so weak. Developers are not even able to simply downgrade the graphics and port the game -- the hardware is usually too weak for many aspects, like physics applications and scale. So when they develop a game, they literally have to develop the 'main' version, and then the 'wii' version, which up until recently was synomous with the 'ps2' version. (Lol, remember that? 360/PS3 and Wii/PS2?)
The Wii allows developers with less money to make a game up to standard on their system, but for all the "innovation" the Wii has brought with its new motion control scheme, it in fact HINDERS developers from breaking previous limits due to hardware limitation.
I don't like it when fanboys like to pick apart other systems based on the integrity of their security. ESPECIALLY Nintendo fanboys, seeing as the Wii has been hacked to hell and back so bad that it's almost saddening to see how rampant and EASY Piracy is on it. That system was cracked wide open on like, day one. People were downloading SMG2 weeks before the shit even came out. If babies and grandmothers didn't snatch up the wii like strawberry-banana hotcakes, Wii would be in the same situation the PSP is in.But hey, when the vita gets hacked I will get it.
Don't fool yourself. Every console that gets released WILL be hacked, no matter how hard the developers try to make it otherwise. The only real way to avoid being hacked is to take the original PS3 approach and include an OtherOS option that allows homebrew, so the REAL hackers will have no reason to crack the hardware. Sony screwed that up though, and will definitely end up being hacked again. But i assure you, the Wii-U wont take much longer.
