Renowned US games designer American McGee has spoken out in a forthcoming interview with CVG, to lambast Microsoft and Sony as ‘focused on money’ before going on to describe Nintendo’s Wii as the only true next-generation console.
In an extensive and forthright interview which will be appearing exclusively on CVG tomorrow, McGee, who’s currently in the throes of releasing Bad Day LA as well as working on movie projects Grimm and Oz, responded to our question about the prospects for the next generation race by saying, “The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor upgrade.”
When quizzed further, McGee told us he thought that Nintendo would be the true next-generation champion for gamers adding, ” I sense that Nintendo is going to capture the hearts of gamers while Microsoft and Sony stab each other in the neck for market domination. Nintendo is focused on innovation and games. The other guys are focused on making money.”
Controversial views indeed, but McGee seems certain that Nintendo speaks to the true gamer’s soul, while picturing the other two monolithic corporations as engaged in a massive bunfight not for gaming, but for cold hard cash. Harsh or right on the money? You can offer your own thoughts in our comments field, and be sure to tune back in tomorrow for the full and fascinating interview where McGee discusses US politicians’ hostility to games, episodic content, outsourcing and where gaming’s future truly lies.
