That sucks then, pretty stupid if they want to make lots of money.

Well, putting a game on more systems costs more, so if the game were to be horrible thats a lot of wasted money.

playing it safe, maybe?

But what if there are more people who own a PS3 console than Wii, lol, that would be a bit of a mistake for them, I hate the Wii in my opinion, but then again they could release it for the PlayStation Move.

It woould be nice to see Spyro and Cynder in beautiful HD graphics again. But I will still take a Wii game. (Besides, they can look brilliant. Case in point: Sonic Colours)

I think that it would p*ss a lot of people off if this happens. It would definately annoy me, I would think that Activision are cheap skates.

The Wii IS the most successful of the newest systems, more so then the others.

so if one system were to be the smart one to pick I would say it would be the Wii.

Really? I thought it would be the PS3. Seeing that can do so much more.

Yeah, the Wii is considered a family kind of console. and a lot of people like the control system. so I guess that could be why. plus it has a wider selection of games then it's competitors also.

But the PS3 is more expensive, and the Wii was the original motion control console, so it attracts a lot of casual gamers. Also, it has Mario.

Oh I feel like the odd one out now, lol, the Wii has never interested me. I wouldn't have thought that the PS3 would have fallen back. Still though, it seems stupid that it will be released JUST for the Wii, so in my opinion that gives me a clue that the next game will be crap.

Mario doesn't interest me at all, it did when I was like 6 or 7, but now? Nope, it just annoys me. Don't mind watching other people play it, but that's it.

Well, lot's of other people like Mario! and I mean A LOT of other people!

Marios been going on since the early 80's so you know he is popular!

It's not my kind of game.

I was just saying that everyone seems to love Mario now because of the huge ad campaigns he now has. I myself am a Mario fan, but he has been catering to the casual gamers a bit too much.(The first Mario Galaxy was so easy it makes the game repetitive and less fun. But the second one? Masterpiece!)

My personal favourite video game would be GTA: San Andreas, you can do almost anything in that game.

Yeah, that's a fun game, but if I want a game where I can do anything, I play LittleBigPlanet!

Another game that I dislike, lol. I'm very picky with my video games aren't I?

If they want lots of people, the PS2 is the way to go; however it is old.

The Wii did well because people are irrational, and there never was a good reason to get it unless you like the exclusive games like Mario.

Wii controls aren't my fave, it works for some game, ones where you dont have too many controls. If they go the route of the new Spyro I can see some complex control schemes.(Wasnt that an issue for the wii DOTD?)

If the Wii controls are what's best for the gameplay, then Wii is thier smartest choice of consoles. And isn't it better for general game quality if the focus on ONE console and really nail it rather than porting to all consoles? IDK, this is what I hear.

As for the wait, I don't like it either but that's all we can do. I suggest busying yourselves with other things to make the time go faster. It's is the holidays soon, so there's lots to occupy ourselves with.
Anyway, the year's almost up so we shouldn't have to wait too much longer for info. I expect we'll hear something in spring of 2011.

At this point in time, the Wii is the best at nothing regarding gameplay. And given that motion controls are to make it feel like you are doing the things in the game yourself, they are a poor choice for dragon gameplay except for flying (in which case the PS3 wins hands down with Six Axis).

Remember, we have no idea what this new game is gonna be like. for all we know Wii could fit better then all the other systems, ya know?

And why would it? From the stand point of the consoles' capabilities there is no advantage to creating a game for the Wii over the PS3. None. At. All.

Ahem, must I state it again? The Wii is considered to be a FAMILY console. much more then the ps3. even it that were true the Wii still has outdone all the other systems sales-wise and perhaps with Spyro attracting an audience there could be the best choice see what I mean?

If it's a game that the whole family could enjoy the Wii has more of an audience for it seeing as the ps3 has a lot less family games then the Wii, get it?

^Beat me to it.

I said capability, not market. Read my posts, please.

Yeah true in performance the other consoles have an advantage. But unfortunately the Wii wins because its cheap and let's face it most gamers are young not teens and most teens are hardcore gamers but there aren't many of us. But what the others meant gwenio is that maybe this spyro is gonna be aimed at kids, and let's face it the Wii is like a Honda compared to the others like a BMW and Mercedes benz. Not anyone can buy a Benz. As much as I hate to admit that spyro ain't gonna be one the ps3 maybe it might be for the best.

See the quote in post #1771.

Yea, and thats fine, but what I'm saying at the moment I don't think they care about that I think they want to sell and make money therefor they could care less about the advantages the other system may have over the Wii. the Wii still has the controls and a lot of people have Wii. so advantage or not the Wii is still gonna sell the most in Spyros case based on the fact that it could be aimed at kids.

Yeah to be honest unfortunatly activision only cares about money, which would explain why COD modern warfare hasnt dropped in price compared to Blk ops. Also would explain why activision tried to underpay infinity ward and it ended up in court. I dont like kotick at all and I have a feeling this might not end up well with activision because of how they cancelled crash like that, reason why it was stupid why they cancelled crash is because there's so many games that end up being published and well are worthless and yet they are on highend consoles. hehe why? meh I dont know but they are. But i hope spyro ends up back on the PS3 as well next next year.

The Wii is a family console - It's played by all ages, not just young kids. Heck, all real hardcore gamers will have one and just not admit it.

To be honest, if Spyro wound up on PS3 using Move, I wouldn't buy it. Same with 360 and Kinect. I'm not gonna bother to pay extra for either add-on, when the Wii does that already. In the same way I'd never pay for Blu-ray, I'd never pay extra for a graphics-infused console. Capability means nothing to game companies.

^This!

That's a poor excuse, a family console, and?

Because it's a family console, it has the best potential market. More people have Wii's when compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 as it is the #1 console(not including PS2). Also, capability wise, there is that drawing device by THQ. And the Wii is capable of great graphics.

This :3

I get the message, I don't need two people to tell me.

I wasn't talking to you specifically, I was just having my say on the matter seeing as everyone else was doing it! :3

Well you were. LOL

Oops, I put a typo, but I fixed it!

I do have a wii, I expected much more than what was hyped about it actually. The sad part is if I can get a game thats also on another console I go straight for it instead of buying for the wii.

Though I could see some interesting motion controls, flap your arms kids! lol.

I think it's a great console, but I also try to get multi-platform games on PS3/Xbox 360(DotD comes to mind), which is ironic, as I actually play my Wii more than my 360. The Wii has a few absolutly amazing games that make it worth the buy(SSBB comes to mind).

The only wii game I have that actually makes sense that its for the wii is Wario Ware,I like SSBB, but I use a gamecube controller. Most other games feel like it doesnt matter if they were on the wii or not because they dont try to take advantage of the wiis unique traits.

It will be nice to have something to use my wii for though :/

Well, SSBB would not of been possible on Gamecube and it's a Nintendo property, so I count it.

There is not such thing as a family console, only family games. The only thing that can make a console more of a family console is what the max number of controllers it can have at once is.

That the WiiMote is the Wii's primary controller the reason I personally do not like it. That the hardware that will have to last for its life time is sub-par is why I consider it a poor choice as a console. Buying a lesser console as it is cheaper is like buying a product with a higher unit price because the amount you pay is cheaper.

I will state again that PS2 is better for audiance, it still has almost as many sales than all the current consoles combined and about twice as many as the Wii. And the lifespan of this generation of consoles is about half over.

But the PS2 is dead. Sony have actually patented an add-on for the PS3 that emulates PS2 games and loads them faster and what not. Also, they may start putting PS2 games on the PS Store. So yeah, the actual PS2 console is pretty dead.

Activision doesn't do PS2 games anymore anyways..

But people have them still, and there are lots of them. As long as they are the most common, saying the Wii is the one to develope for as it has more sales is a hollow argument.

According to Sony, the PS2 is not dead.

Well, look at it this way. even if there are only family games not family consoles. there are more family games for the Wii then any other system. so those who want a lot of family games have a Wii, get it?

So technically the Wii with it's large selection of family games HAS been made a family owned console.

Have you noticed, there haven't been that many or not any recent updates on the next Spyro game.

Also this has become of the #1 topic of the General board name.

People may have them, but since it's so old, many people have them modded and can get games free anyway. And the Wii is more technically advanced. Put it this way - do you see many PS2 exclusives now? No. Why? Because the technology is dated. I doubt developers even want to make games for it because of it's limitations.
