Whatever the case, the thing I love about console wars on GAF is the twists and turns. I love how any given thread could be so much more valuable later on, like time capsules that contain rather common or mundane things that become treasure. Will be fun to see comments revisited later in the grand scheme of things given how automatic, energetic, and self-assured posts can be.
Unless one platform bombs or takes a better than 70% share of the market, I'd think that, if this were true to a significant degree with a first title in what is obviously an expensive and planned franchise, a lower reputation for it on one platform could hurt sales enough to force the developer/publisher to commit more resources and seek or be offered more assistance in achieving parity from the platform holder so as to ensure that the successive titles don't suffer and end up being coasters in a bargain bin within a year or so of release. They need good sales across the main platforms to make money so parity will be achieved by bringing the most important versions close together as the generation wears on. Nothing political about that, just smart business sense.
