There are idiots in the gaming business as well, just like how there are good 5 star chefs, and extremely bad ones putting roaches into their soups, and "imo" I can tell you that this Peter W. guy is a very very bad chef in the video game business. He is still saying the Wii is as powerful as the first xbox when it's the wrong fact and it clearly shows his incompetence and what a lot of the devs are like in the US, retarded but still getting paid. He's confusing features vs power, Pixel and Vertex Shaders is a standard feature in more current video hardware these days, but that's a feature which has nothing to do with raw power. The Wii does custom shaders around the TEV which is a different system and requires a different learning curve, but raw power-wise, it's quiet a bit ahead of the original xbox in raw performance, and needs a different style of coding for shader effects. Just because he's worked on a few games, it doesn't mean he's all knowing about the industry, since he said Madworld needs to sell 2-3 million copies to make a profit hahaha.
Btw, we won't know if Madworld is a flop or not until at least half a year to a year later, that's not how Wii games work which is a known fact and a moot point to argue about.
ps: 3rd party NA devs can only blame themselves for making inferior games then saying it doesn't sale, at this point, people are being very careful about purchases because of the flood of shovelware that these idiots make, so any new quality game takes a longer life cycle for them to sell well to make a profit.
