Unsure why they went for PS4 though, with these graphics. Surely they could have gone PS3?
Who has a PS3 these days?

I mean, I know like, 80 million people do, but software sales for it are way down. All the press is on the new-gen. The timing is just too late for PS3. You might be able to develop it for both but the way the PS3s architecture works is waaaay different to the PS4/XB1, so it would take a lot of effort (i.e. $$$). Also I get the feeling they're not putting too much resource into optimising this game - most of the time you need to spend lots of energy into squeezing all the power you can out to make the game look it's most shiny.

If you don't set the bar for fidelity so high, you don't have to squeeze so hard. Achieving the same results with the less powerful PS3 would require much more effort.
I imagine the PSP, being the same generation and manufacturer as the PS3, would be easier to port to the PS3. Could be wrong, though. But I for one would never use this particular game as an advertising vehicle for PS4/FFXV, because it's nothing remotely close to good advertising for the PS4. If people didn't know this was a PSP port (and a lot won't) then they would look at this game and think "Uh, wtf, this is cheap." I'm not saying I will be one of those people, but I do worry that they are targeting the wrong demographic by putting it on PS4, and simultaneously limiting themselves because 80m >13m.

Still looking forward to this game though.
