Microsoft Questions The Longevity Of The Wii

December 20th, 2006

Chris Satchell, the general manager of Microsoft game development group, has questioned in a recent interview whether the Wii has what it takes to enthrall gamers in the long run. Despite worldwide sales of over a million consoles, where it was sold out in every country it launched, Microsoft is not impressed,

“It’s going to start very fast, it’s a cool thing that’s different, but I’m not sure how big it’s going to be in the long term,”

Chris also criticizes Sony’s online focus in the interview, he does not believe that Sony are taking the right path in terms of online and user generated content.

“I don’t think Sony has the right focus. I’m not even sure, looking at how they execute, that they even think that it’s important.”
