However scarce game ports are, we can always expect really poor-quality video games based on movies ported to every electronic gaming device available. Take, for instance, "Pirates of the Caribbean - at world's end" game. It was ported to Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and of course the Wii. The graphics are the laughing stock of the video game market, and the gameplay is so awkward on any system. I think they're going in the right direction, however - each game system needs to have it's very own game selection. This would allow for the companies to build on the technology of a particular device, rather than make games for "compatibility" - which really *doesn't* satisfy all the customers at once.
