They're all devices you play with to entertain you. Go back and read what Wada said again and you will see that he doesn't think people are buying Wii's as a "Gaming device" but as a toy. The toy comment is not what's important, it's the gaming device that is important. |
I read it. Perhaps it's a poor translation, but if it's not, he is trying to make a distinction between a toy that people use to play games and another toy that people use to play fewer games. If that's the case, it just doesn't make any sense.
He sounds like a man trying to reconcile his business decisions and reality, and he's trying to do it with some retionalizations that would be less painful to him. It's a stupid thing to do; it would obviously be better to just accept reality and develop where it makes sense.
He's clearly irritated that there isn't the market for the PS3 that he anticipated.
