The pessimistic sentiment among Nintendo owners is somewhat justified. Back in 2007, Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada came out and publicly denounced the console, likening it to a “toy” rather than a real gaming machine. Interestingly, he wrapped his insult in a bundle of compliments for another, unlikely competitor, the Xbox 360:

“I think the current trend is that most people aren't buying the Wii as a game machine, but as a toy," said Wada in speaking with CNET Japan. "The Wii is the antithesis of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 is strictly for hardcore gamers. The attachment rate for the Xbox 360 is much higher than for the Wii. People who buy the 360 really like games."


Maybe that explains it.

Or not.

Wada appears not to be a fan of complex next-gen consoles like the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, which he calls "over-engineered." He told the newspaper, "There are too many specs--and you also need a high-definition TV, a broadband connection, and a deep knowledge of gaming--these consoles are mismatched to today's environment. In a year or two years, they will fare better."

We are astonished by Wii's success and the Nintendo dominance. We thought that the PS3 and the Wii will coexist due to the difference between both strategies, but in the end the users will decide which platform we develop on. The SCE platforms at this point are a bit of a challenge... We think we can do much on the Wii. I talked to Iwata to exploit many possibilities and cheer him on.

 

In conclusion: Yoichi Wada is on some serious stuff. 

@ClaudeLv250 - Maybe some kind of FFXIII Agito for Wii? I hope we don't see any new installments being announced from FFXIII for the Wii exclusivley because that would branch out the series onto four different platforms...

 

All signs point to Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII being for the Wii. We'll hear about it either at TGS or the Jump Festa (a mere 2 months after TGS).

Apparently it, a Mana (Seiken Densetsu) game, and Kingdom Hearts III are to be the premiere games for Wii's Crystal Tools.
