The majority of sixty polled developers at 19 Japanese publishers agree on one thing: They kissyface the Nintendo Wii. When Famitsu asked about expectations for next generation consoles, Wii got overwhelmingly high marks compared to the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
What games were the developers excited about? Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII, along with Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. But, Twilight Princess was the overwhelming winner.
Interesting part: Developers were asked which part of each system they liked best. Visual power and overall hardware specs took the PS3's top spots. For the Xbox 360, it was Xbox Live and ease of development. And for the Wii, it was the Wii-mote and Wii Connect 24. This is contrasted with which system they wanted personally—with the Wii edging out the PS3 in a close race.
Pitted against each other, 60 percent of developers said the Wii would win, 37 percent said the PS3 and 3 percent said the Xbox 360. Aren't you just dying to know who that 3 percent are?!
