Codemasters: Expect Wii2 sooner than you think
In an interview with Gamedaily, Codemasters' CEO Rod Cousens stated that he expects Nintendo to release a successor to the currently very popular Wii sooner than people may think
"I think this cycle has got a long way to go and it's certainly not over. Anyone writing off Sony and Microsoft do so at their peril. I could give you an argument that says there's going to be a 'Wii 2' pretty quickly because [Nintendo would need one] in order to sustain momentum over a 10-year period. And what type of software would it have then? Because right now it isn't driven by technological supremacy or power. I wonder if the idea of opening up a whole new audience to 60-year-olds looking to make sure their brain cells don't die off is a sustainable form of entertainment. Maybe they got it right because we are all an aging population in Western markets, but I somehow think as a form of entertainment that won't be the case," he concluded.
The Wii has got a lot of momentum thanks to its innovative controller and fun party games, but I think Codemasters is right that a console can't live for years on that type of entertainment aloneIn other news:
