Ubisoft - Wii success proved new and unique hardware can be successful
A portion of a CVG interview with Ubisoft's Alex Hutchinson...
CVG: Perhaps it's the opportunities that come with the hardware that gets people interested. I'm sure you can remember the first time the Wii controller was revealed, for example.
AH: Yeah the Wii is funny, because I remember when it first emerged people thought it was going to be another failed Nintendo console, but it had something that is fresh and interesting. That should be the message to all hardware manufacturers: If I can do something new and unique with the hardware, then it's far more likely to be a success.
