Microsoft head honcho Bill Gates is the latest to comment on the Wii, arguing that it is in fact "not mainstream".

Speaking to MTV News, the Dark Sith Lord of Microsoft was quoted as saying that "There's room for innovation [in the games industry], "but moving that controller around -- it's something that's not mainstream for most games."

Deciding not to be as openly praiseful about the console as his colleague Peter Moore (who recently has twice shmoozed his love for the Nintendo device) Gates instead mentioned the motion-sensing SideWinder Freestyle Pro controller Microsoft themselves released, though to no great commercial success.

"It's tough because sometimes you move the controller, and you don't [mean] to fly into the ground. You just want to put the controller down. People aren't that good at totally standing still. Even pilots actually sit in a chair when they do their flying. So there's a lot to be learned about these controllers."

More as we get it.
