An Epic diss
Filed under: News
The Wii isn't everyone's cup of tea. For one, Epic Games' president Michael Capps seems to have a lot of hate for the little white console. When asked if the Wii's success was tempting the company to make software for the platform, Capps replied, "No, we go forward, not back. It makes more sense for us to invest in the next-generation tech." Oh, snap.
Capps didn't stop there, though. Comparing the Wii to a virus, he explained the epidemic as a chain reaction of sorts. According to the prez, when someone sees a Wii, they'll think it looks cool, buy it, and then stop playing it after two months. But, a friend will see their Wii, think it looks fun, and buy one for themselves. The cycle continues, even though people stop playing their Wiis once the novelty wears off.
Now, if you're visiting this website, the chances are high that you don't agree with Capps. Do you see any merits in his argument, though? Should the Wii not count as a "next-generation" console because it can't match up in tech? And, do you think the lack of Epic's support is a big loss for the Wii?
[Thanks, zizzy!]

of course it's a next-gen console, it's not all about the hardware specs, the motion sensing is new, therefore a next-gen console cus no other console have that, except the ps3, but it's way too expensive for anyone to buy.
the wii has great gameplay, motion sensing couldn't be better without it..
Nintendo could've done a console with unreal hardware specs, and motion sensing, but it wouldn't sell much, cus no one could afford it, just like the ps3, only the rich kids, or the guys that work hard for it, get it.
the wii is for everyone, the 360 is somewhere in between, but not "new", the ps3 has awesome hardware specs and graphics unlike we've ever seen, but not many games thake advantage of it, so half of the games look like crap, with ordinary gameplay, and is very expensive, that's why the ps3 lays somewhere at the bottom on the week roundup everytime..
