I'm completely at a loss to understand why people seem to be mad about what he said. Is it because he once worked for a studio that belonged to Sony? I've seen Nintendo fans say pretty much the same thing and no one blinks an eye.

And what does the Vita have to do with this?

He's pretty much right about everything. The only thing I would amend is that the Wii was only partially a fad. Yes, it had a great deal of people buy it who only played it a few times before shoving it under the TV, which is what being a fad means, but it also had a good number of fans who continued to play it thought its life-cycle.

What's so hard to understand.

It's just the same scenario all over again.

Nintendo Fans are more sensible than other ones and that's how they react.They started mocking the ps vita exactly before WiiU was released cause they never expected WiiU could fail similar way but know they can stand being treated the same way.

If this interview was about vita all of the people complaining right know would say:"He is 100% right".(and he would be a liar saying something very much different)

The only thing he is wrong is that Wii was a fad-

Wii's software:hardware ratio is very high,pretty much the same level as ps360 maybe a little bit higher.This can't be a fad.

The bolded is incorrect, just so you know.
