Focus Groups: Wii Version of Need For Speed Carbon over PS3/360

So, focus groups prefer a graphically inferior version of a game because it plays better.

Damn. I must have underestimated the generic populace.

I just hope that they include an actual arcade steering wheel type controller for the next gen racing games(especialy for the sims like GT4)

Not sure if Carbon itself would be the ideal version of the next-gen racers though, there's quite a few exclusive racers coming down the pipes that may be a better example of the genre. PGR4 and GT5 both seem intent on using their system's full power and potential. However I think Dirt:CMR is where the quality of the ported racers will be severely upped. It's strange that NFS:C is the only console racer 3 way port, everything else is 360/PS3 or PC/360/PS3

GT Pro Series and Monster 4X4 World Circuit for the Wii come with Wheel Shells.

Not at all talking about power or exclusivity. With regards purely to controlling, the focus group preferred Wii controls over the others.

this is just one game with one group

it's not an overall census
