I might agree with him. Wii hardware is not pushing game development at all . Wii games only push creativity on how to use the Wii controls. This is sad :(

I'm going to be at GDC next month and I'm going to try to figure out what is the general Wii-feel from developers but right now I believe this guy is right. These "casual" Wii games are pretty low quality and they are eating sales from the high quality games. This will eventually hurt the whole industry.

Again though you are going back to the (very) mistaken idea that only casual games can sell on the Wii. There isn't even an argument for this statement. The evidence is so strongly against this idea that it's ridiculous. If he wants to keep making core games, the Wii does not stop him from doing that. Just as the DS doesn't stop him from doing that. Again, he started saying this crap about the PSP and the DS months ago too, but now PSP development looks like an afterthought compared to DS development from SE.

Unfortunaly the games market is rulled by investors... they will not invest in a next-gen game when they can make an easy buck on the Wii.

This is going to cause stagnation of 3D technologies, physics, animations, etc. This is what I'm talking about, the system is too low end for next-gen game developement... with the exception of the controls, of course.
