It's funny how Valve's boss gets props for condemning the ps3 but iD's boss gets bashed for condemning the wii. I guess it depends on the number of fans on x console.

About his logic, he really has a point from iD's perspective. I don't see their sort of games making any headways on wii. The second problem 3rd parties seem to have is deciding exactly what kind of wii game to release. Is it more profitable to churn out multiple "party" games or a game like Gears?

You're mixing things up, perhaps for the sake of criticizing other people.

What Valve said (correct if I'm wrong, but this is what I remember) was that they are not interested in PS3 development (though he said it quite harshly). What iD is saying is much more general, aimed at all third parties. I don't think anyone here is really surprised that iD wouldn't care about the Wii.
