I think he's just being mouthy, bitter and stupid...but nice to see his and that attitude of his eat some crow for once. He cites two games that spawned a number of clones as justification on his outburst saying “Tomb Raider was a revolutionary product on the PlayStation. Everyone tried to do a rip off. By the time they got there, it was too late. When Grand Theft Auto came out, everybody gravitated to Grand Theft Auto.”
What do you guys think? Sour Grapes? Is Tretton just sore that so many apparently exclusive PS3 titles are also appearing on other platforms? Is he annoyed that the SIXAXIS is thus far pretty much ignored and underutilised? Or is he right are developers putting too must into the Wii?
QUOTE said:Sony's Jack Tretton has hit out at the Wii saying that developers are setting themselves up for a big fall by flocking to the Nintendo stable.
Tretton feels that developers are flocking to the Wii based solely on its initial success and that in the future consumer tastes will shift leaving the developers all up a creek without a Wiimote for a paddle.
