Infinity Ward:"Wii can’t deliver on our goals."

[theRepublic]

If we felt like we could deliver the cinematic experience we were going for on other platforms, then we would gladly move to that platform

What is with all of these developers going for a 'cinematic experience' these days? If I want a cinematic experience, I'll go see a movie.

Movies are their own medium, like theater or books. You don't see those mediums trying to imitate each other. Why is it that people feel the need for games to imitate movies? Do game developers have such low self-esteem about their games that they think they need to throw in a movie-like experience on top of it? Games are their own medium. I wish more developers would act like it.
