very good interview. i thought he talked a bit too much about fps. although that genre is way overplayed while other genres are ignored. i love me some fps but it is sort of sickening just how many there are these days.
and he's totally right about "hardcore gamers." most of the people who say they are hardcore mostly play fps and sports games and talk crap about any new experiences (mostly the wii). and he's also completely right about the wii saving the industry. imagine how many companies would be going out of busy if they weren't able to make up their hd losses on wii games.
and i also totally agree about platformers and shooters. i would love to see development shift away from the heavy focus on fps to bringing back shoot 'em ups and side scrolling platformers along with trying to focus on new ideas like some companies are doing so far mostly on the wii.
