Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console 381
PhoenixOne writes "In an article that will probably tick off a lot of PS3 owners, Will Wright calls the PS3 and 360 'incremental improvement(s)'. 'The Wii feels like a major jump - not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic. In some sense I see the Wii as the most significant thing that's happened, at least on the console side, in quite a while ... I still, for the most part, prefer playing games on the computer - to me the mouse is the best input device ever. Every generation it's like 'the PC's dead! The PC's dead!'. But it carries on growing when consoles are flat for five years. At the moment I can get better graphics on my PC than I can on the PS3.'"

So you're saying that 360 owners are resigned to knowing that their system is mediocre at best?

I agree with an earlier post, the sims would look no better on a WII than an XB360 or a PS3, each of the new systems is innovative in
their own right but using something like an innovation in control as an indicator of 'next-gen' status is a little silly.

Thank you!!
I finally acquiesced and played the new Metroid game, which my Wii-apologist friend assured me was the pinnacle of interface design for the system. I couldn't play it for more than about 4 minutes without my hands starting to ache, but okay, fine, I'm not used to the Wii.
Then I watched him try to throw the grapple line to pull doors open. He got it to work about one out of four tries. >_
ALL THAT SAID... the bowling and golf games are tight. =)

It's easier to use the 360 if you switch to a smaller pole... try 6" or maybe a foot at most.
