Game Industry Folks Siding With the Wii

Gamasutra's semi-regular feature taking the pulse of folks in the game industry turns its attention this week to the PS3 and Wii launches. From the comments submitted to the site, it seems that many industry vets are generally more excited about the Wii than with Sony's offering. From the article: "'Definitely a Wii (already pwii-ordered). The price point of the PS3 and the lack of enticing launch titles makes me as interested in a PS3 as I am interested in getting a root canal.' — Ryan Conlon, Gearbox Software. 'I am buying a Wii because Sony is too arrogant, from their dev tools to the price point.' — Ed O'Tey, Electronic Arts. 'Wii — pre-ordered. I applaud the attempt to expand and explore game interaction with the Wii. I will not be purchasing a PS3.' — Jim Perkins, EA Canada"

Sometimes I think slashdot should make you hit submit, then re-type the comment while reading it from a copy displayed above the text box. Of course, with current software, there's no way to enforce typing vs. copy/paste, so people still wouldn't read their comments and realize how inane their typos and brain-farts make them seem...of course, I'll now go ahead and post this without re-reading it and something in it will make _me_ look inane... sigh.
