Evan Wells: There are a lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community

Naughty Dog may be doing games exclusively for Sony, given that they are a subsidiary of the media giant. But that doesn't mean they can't express appreciation for the other players out there. Evan Wells, co-president of ND, shares some praises for the Nintendo Wii.

Asked in an interview whether their developing firm si considering motion control in the future, Wells responded, even bringing the Wii and its software into the discussion.

"I think right for the genre that we're in? We really don't have any interest in using the motion control to do a third-person action game. If we were going to make a motion controller game, I think we'd want ot tackle it from the bottom up and make sure that we were designing the game around the motion control, the way the best Wii games are designed.

I'm not a Wii hater at all, in fact, it's probably one of my most played consoles in the house. I have a 3-year old son which might account for that [laughs], but I think Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are some of the best experiences of this generation, honestly. They're immensely playale and competitive, and just great fun with a group of people in the same room.Yeah, I think the PlayStation audience is totally for it, in fact, I bet you there are a lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community. If there is some really good software for that motion controller, I think it can be a big, big success."

that's a lot of boost for the Wii coming from the president of the company who brought us one of the best games of the year.

well, not that the wii needed any boosting.

I may own a Wii, but that doesn't mean I think its great.

Wii Sports is, honestly, one of the more memorable games of the year. It showed off new technology and it did it well, it's almost like the Duck Hunt of the Wii

# yup — deadlyangel91792 2009-12-31 12:38

i mainly play my ps3 but i also own a wii and now a BEAST of an alienware desktop.

When friends come over I sweep the inch of dust off my Wii and play some fun mini-games. When they leave its back in the closet until next time.

Actually Sega said it best when they mentioned that Wii is the 'most expensive board game on Earth'.

I own a Wii, but I also own a Game Gear and a Virtual Boy. Sales do not equal quality or how fun a system is

# Can't count me — hush404 2009-12-31 19:33

I've got every console/handheld this gen except the Wii. Thing just doesn't interest me.

Love my PS3, but the memorable moments I have with my family playing the Wii is something no other system has ever done, ever. I thank nintendo for that.

Blame your family, not your systems. I've played Perfect Dark, GoldenEye and Halo with my dad for years

QJ, you should give this article the once-over. It's got quite a few typos.
