He also said the Wii's price increase in the UK was justified.

Funny thing is that he called for more focused publishing efforts on the Wii because low quality shovelware confused people.

This seems to be one and he dismissed it.
Basally, his track record is mixed. And video games are his secondary specialty.
Ed is a leading authority on the global remote gambling and video games industries.

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
