Microsoft Exec questions Wii’s Longevity
December 21st, 2006 by Pugwash | Business, General, Hardware, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360
Chris Satchell, general manager of Microsoft’s Game Development Group, has questioned whether the Wii, despite being the fastest selling console in history, has got what it takes to hold gamers interest in the long run.
“I’m not sure what its long term potential is. It’s a super-strong for Nintendo’s first-party IP” he says, “It’s going to start very fast, it’s a cool thing that’s different, but I’m not sure how big it’s going to be in the long term”
Chris also casts his doubts on Sony’s approach to online services and user-created content, stating:
“I don’t think Sony has the right focus. I’m not even sure, looking at how they execute, that they even think that it’s important.”
