Wii got beaten to the punch by Sony -Fils-Aime

Reggie Fils-Aime - Image 1Some time after the Game Developers Conference 2007, Nintendo America chief Reggie Fils-Aime conceded that Phil Harrison and the Sony PlayStation 3 edged them in acquiring the rights to get Media Molecule's LittleBigPlanet exclusively on their console.

Fils-Aime held back no praises for the game that stole the show in GDC, saying, "That product, I think, is quite intriguing. I'm not sure how well it will do on the Sony platform, quite frankly, but I think that the product they showed was outstanding."

For Media Molecule's part, Alex Evans said that his team decided to go with Sony because of the Cell Processor and the console's high-end nature. "Sticking those constraints on ourselves allowed us to focus," he explains.

Fils-Aime gave credit to Harrison's success in acquiring the services of Evans' team, but revealed that he was less impressed with PlayStation Home. "Home, I am less excited about, but that's Sony's challenge to go figure out," says the outspoken Nintendo bigwig.

And here is another case of the Wii is too underpowered to satisfy developers needs. This has been the case with a few companies and I can only see it continuing in the future. The Wii will be nothing but a spinoff system. Its a shame, but its nintendos fault. Sure it will get final fantasy, kingdom hearts, resident evil, etc... but they will be spinoffs and I doubt they will be even nearly as good as the originals.

# what a *****y Nintendo toolGuest 2007-04-07 03:37
This stupid guy really gets on my nerves ...... The nintendo wii is underpowered and lacking of any great games. ......... forget your 5 minute thrills.

Hardly released anything new for the past few months....

The nintendo wii appeal for me at least has worn off .... Graphics on the games look shoddy (very last gen) and games like Red Steel and Call of Duty 3 don't work....

as for Umbrella chronicles well its just Gun Survivor with the same control method as COD3 and Red Steel :(

why are they releasing old ps2 games like Anubis 2 and Ninjabread man and Fruitfall????

Americans are cheap!

Japan is expensive!

In Europe, the is only bought by little kids or there parents.



In Europe we know what's good so we don't buy crap.



That's why the Wii is so succesfull in Japan and USA. And way less in Europe.

Only kids and parents in europe buy Wii? Way less succesfull? Where are you living? Here in Norway it was as hard to get one as it was under release in us, and everyone I knows who has a wii isn't fit in your "kids and parents" group.. sheesh, stopp talking trash about the wii just because it doesnt apeal to you personaly. this is getting soooooo old.. >.
