mepaco said:No, lower dev costs do not in any way breed creativity. But I can imagine it being incredibly difficult to get the green light on a game with unproven sales potential if it requires a next-gen graphics budget. Even games with a proven low sales potential (read niche) have the possibility of making a profit on the Wii where it might not on the more powerful platforms.
Thats the biggest problem with Wii, while it may be cheap to make games on it, it gives dev's no reason to take advantage of the system cause there is no competition. When the most consistent selling game is Wii Play, 3rd parties don't have much to reason to be creative.
