Dear Reader:
Yoichi Wada comments from yesterday take a different tone (Wii is a toy)
Yesterday we discussed comments made by Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada concerning the Wii. The interview was from CNET Japan. Apparently the original translation left out a lot of details. Take a look at the new translation today…it has quite a different tone.
“The Wii is the antithesis of the Xbox 360. 360 is strictly for hardcore gamers. The attachment rate for the Xbox 360 is much higher than for the Wii. People who buy the 360 really like games. I think the current trend is that most people aren’t buying the Wii as a game machine, but as a toy. It seems that Sony isn’t sure what it wants to do. Is it making high-end electronics or a game console for gamers? I want them to clearly define their console.”
Hmmm…doesn’t sound like Mr. Wada is all too happy with the platform!
