An interesting, if not unsurprising, bit of information came out from Activision’s latest analyst call. In this article, Gamasutra quotes executives of the company as saying that we’ll see current-gen to Wii ports, as well as Xbox 360 to PS3 ports: “We are starting to port elements from the 360 to the PlayStation 3, and also from current-gen platforms into Nintendo Wii.”
However, this will most probably not the case in the near future since the company expects to take benefit of the unique features of all 3 platforms soon: “…many more similarities between 360 and the PS3, but and we are getting the benefits over all 3 platforms in art and animation investment.”
As for the upcoming launches of the PS3 and Wii, Activision execs noted that the “launch quantities” will be the “real driver” in how the Christmas season will work out. They added that the retail climate should be excellent “as long as [launch hardware amounts] are in line with what first parties are indicating.”
