An article on Eurogamer says "The Crew" is only going to come to XB360 of last gen because it's a close match to the design of current-gen consoles and an easy port.
I'm not seeing that myself as all last-gen consoles seem reasonably distant. Obviously PS3 is nowt but aggro, but Wii U has similarities itself.
In particular in the comments, I've raised the issue of CPU and have some disagreements, so I want to ask the experts here what they think. I'm not convinced porting from Jaguar to Xenon is going to be trivial, certainly not a recompile and code will run quickly. In a scale of difficulty to 10, I placed PS3 at 10 and XB360 at 8, although that's probably too high for 360. What are B3D's collective thoughts on down-porting from PS4/XB1 to PS360 + Wii U?
"The Crew is originally built for the new generation of consoles so when we made the decision to port it to the previous generation of consoles, we decided to focus solely on the platform closest to the new-gen's technical infrastructure, which is the Xbox 360," a Ubisoft spokesperson told Eurogamer.
