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.'"

That said, the wii is a lot of fun, and much more intuitive for people who don't play video games regularly. My wife and I can have people over and teach them Wii bowling in two minutes and play it for hours. You can't do that with most systems.
If I'm going to play a shooter with a buddy though, I definitely want the incredible hardware on the PS3, and a big screen. There's no comparison when you have hi def.
