News: Wii Is Flooded With Crap, Says Sega
Posted 15 Aug 2008 at 10:03 by Tom Phillips
Sega president Simon Jeffery has commented on the current standard of Wii games, with some interesting comments...
Interviewed by digital media blog VentureBeat, Sega of America's president has spoken out on what he perceives to be a deluge of bad games for the system:
"The Wii is a very cost effective platform to experiment with. There is a lot of crap coming out for the Wii in general. But if it's not a good game, it doesn't sell. That flood of crap will die down as publishers become more coherent."
Obviously, there is shovel-ware on the Wii, but it's hardly a problem unique to the console. Jeffery should also be aware of the critical mauling given to his own company's recent Golden Compass, Iron Man and Hulk titles. We wish that bad games didn't sell, but alas, they quite obviously do.
