Not too smart of a comment, they could develop a casual game for about 1/4 of the cost of a PS360 game and make millions off of it.

This may come back and bite him, he is not looking at the expanded game market.

The Wii has brought millions of people into this gaming market, look at the big picture before you make bold statements like this.

 They don't think they can and their right. The only winners for the Wii are Nintendo in terms of games that sell.

There are more 3rd party million sellers on Wii than on PS3.

Reading all of these comments, there is little that I can add .. but I will try to do so anyway.

It does not appear that it is in the core business model of this small company to do much on non-high-end-graphics systems. I may not like them, but until I am willing to put up my money to tell them what to do, I cannot really be too upset. Not seeing the game you want on the system you play has been part of video games since the beginning.

Meanwhile, if the CEO was trying to be funny, his sense of humor did not translate in the quotes. If the CEO was serious in his comments, he is dilusional. Given that people have said that Epic has never admitted to the less-than-expected/stellar sales of UT3, this could be the case.

Finally, the fanboy defenses and the Wii-bashing has been done over and over and over again. But the proof is in the sales numbers which have shown more and more Wii sales -- hardware and software.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I would agree with the "virus" statement, most people play the Wii for the first time in a group with friends, when it is actually fun, but playing single player isn't nearly as good as it is on the PS3 or 360, so a portion of Wii buyers end up not using their Wii very often.

Thats subjective. I have the same amount of fun playing SMG as I do Gears of War. Neither I feel is better than the other but both are great.

In business there is no such thing as never.

Who would have guessed a few years ago Sonic would be one of the biggest names on a Nintendo console game?



Actually, Capps pretty much said exactly how I feel. I've had the Wii for a month and I think it's completely overrated.  The motion controls, along with the last gen graphics really doesn't do it for me.  I'm not feeling any new gaming experiences.  I'm sure he is very happy with the Gears of War sales and doesn't feel a need to put the game on other consoles.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Am I the only one who feels like this guy hit right on the money? I play the wii, and i get bored with it....FAST! even at a party. Also this technology is nothing new.....ever hear of duckhunt?  That doesn't even require a sensor bar either. It is a step backward. As for those Million seller third party games....they're subpar other then Resident Evil 4, which sold a lot because its a tested formula that most have already played. Same with guitar hero... The others IMO are completly sub par. Its kind of like saying, " Its ok if you make a crappy game for a quick buck. We'll buy it!"

If the ps3 and the xbox 360 go with there waggle and 360 mote ideas....good for them. It puts competition in the market and it will make developers actually have to put a little bit of effort into there games....however i worry it's a little to late. Many already have the wii, and many like its price point. Like i said, i personally don't like the wii cause i havn't played anything with qaulity in it that keeps me entertained. Even if the newer systems do get there motes i probably won't buy one until a game that is an absolute must have comes on it.

The only game that has me even considering the wii is monster hunter 3, but at the same time im still pissed that its just a rehash with new levels....so there needs to be more.

 



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

Meh... their loss I guess.

Pretty naive of him to suggest that the Wii is a step backwards. It's not all about graphics.



Epic games I'm startin' to hate you why ? because you re startin to become arragont.
