Sega: "Wii will not last"

http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/1362.html

While I'm not saying I agree, he lends a voice to several of my primary concerns regarding the Wii. I don't believe the Wii will "top out" next year or in '08, but I have yet to see the real potential of Nintendo's system. Where exactly ARE they going with this new interaction scheme? And when the graphics are this dated already, what impact will it have two or three years from now, when PS3 and 360 games look even better than they do now? And with this fall and holiday season, when the likes of GTA IV, Halo 3, Half-Life 2: Orange Box, and the possibility of either MGS 4or FF XIII arriving, how does Metroid Prime 3 and the new Mario stack up? Too many questions for me, and not nearly enough software to back it up, IMO.

Sega: "We will not last."

Fixed. :P

But seriously, Nintendo being condemned by Sega actually bodes well for Nintendo. Add in the Pachter Factor and the Wii's prospects look better and better.

Well, THAT's true. ;) But I've often wondered how long it will be before Nintendo follows the same path...

Not at all. All they would need is for the Wii to fail, and I can pretty much guarantee it would be their last home console. They may stick with the handhelds, but they'd move to being a third-party developer for Sony and Microsoft...just like Sega. That's all it would take. That is, of course, unless the Wii can somehow fail and still make them money. Which is probably possible.

There's already a thread on this.

In before the lock.

LOL! Nice! :D

So while this guy from Sega is saying this, they're currently off making more console versions of 3D Sonic games like Sonic Heroes HD, Sonic Riders 2, and Sonic the Hedghog 360/PS3 Director's Cut, and Shadow the Hedghog 2.:P

Also it's kind of a bad move to get on Nintendo's bad side especially since they're collaborating on that whole Mario and Sonic at the Olympics AND their best console Sonic game is on the Wii and their best Sonic game since the original is on the DS. The Nintendo platforms are keeping Sonic's ship afloat at the moment. Also, they're bringing the highly anticipated NiGHTS to the Wii so I think it's a little ignorant or too early for this guy to splurt out his opinion at this point. And as for the other Sega games, the only franchises that are doing anything good for Sega is AM2, and even then, their latest masterpiece VF5 didn't sell like it deserved. And in Japan only, Shining Wind has been doing really well, but it's a darn PS2 game!!!

So you're right, Sega is in trouble not the Wii.

Anyway, even though I had my share of Wii criticisms lately, I never thought once or say the Wii will die or not last. Quite frankly the opposite, I think the Wii will grow and expand the market further, at least until the next-generation as long as they keep doing what they're doing.

But if the Wii willhave games that appeal to me personally, now that's another issue altogether.
