Silly rabbit, Wii is for kids. Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada recently voiced his opinion on where he sees all three home consoles, calling the Wii a toy.
“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.”
Aren’t video games and consoles toys to begin with? Just because the audience has expanded over the years doesn’t change the fact. As for attach rate, well… release some Final Fantasy games on the Wii, Square Enix, and then we’ll talk.
