Graphics Horse said: Most games in the Japanese charts are either a multi platform with handheld ver, an occasional Western game or a first party (usually Nintendo) exclusive. Full cross play sounds sensible from that perspective, I don't think losing double dippers will be that significant. Click to expand...

maxcriden said: In the NX spec thread, I had thought most of us ended up on team #somecrossplay? In the sense, from a technical perspective, that many games would be cross-platform, but there would be several key exclusive flagship games for each, designed around each system--and that third parties wouldn't be required to be cross-play.

I dunno I feel like a lot of GAF has suggested there may be shared architecture and in-house development resources so it's easier to develop more games, but not necessarily that that or the internal restructuring from the last 5 years was any indication of cross play.Maybe I'm wrong then? I dunno. Cross play seems quite logical. You're buying the game for one system or two systems... it makes little difference to their bottom line. The key is making the customer want to buy both the portable and the console. So there of course needs to be incentives (whether flagship exclusives or otherwise).
