Sims creator calls Wii a ‘toy’
Will Wright, most famous for SimCity, The Sims and Spore, has indicated his uncertainty about the Nintendo Wii.
In an interview with IndustryGamers, Wright said that the Wii “really is more into what I would call the toy market, because most of the Wii games I’ve enjoyed felt more like toys than like games.”
Of course, the system still offers quite a bit of fun, Wright admits, but for a game developer the Wii isn’t the normal platform for delivering the games we’re used to.
Meanwhile, Wright went on to say that the game industry is indeed looking at a shift, where it’s uncertain when the “next generation” of gaming devices will emerge.
