Will Wright Opines That Wii Is the Only Next-Gen Console

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

PhoenixOne writes "In an article that will probably tick off a lot of PS3 owners, Will Wright calls the PS3 and 360 'incremental improvement(s)'. 'The Wii feels like a major jump - not that the graphics are more powerful, but that it hits a completely different demographic. In some sense I see the Wii as the most significant thing that's happened, at least on the console side, in quite a while ... I still, for the most part, prefer playing games on the computer - to me the mouse is the best input device ever. Every generation it's like 'the PC's dead! The PC's dead!'. But it carries on growing when consoles are flat for five years. At the moment I can get better graphics on my PC than I can on the PS3.'"

    Isn't *everyone* right, "from a certain point of view"?

    I'd say something witty here, but I'm not that bright.

    Have you ever played an RTS war game with a graphics tablet or pen display? That leaves a mouse for dead. You can quickly and accurately select units and click buttons. It's way more intuitive than a mouse. A mouse is a cheap, versatile input device, but it's by no means the best at anything.
