Former DICE CEO states Wii is a virus

Beware, it's a virus!
Despite good numbers in the hardware sales charts, the Nintendo Wii hasn't been getting much loving from the gaming industry. And that's an understatement.

Following that trend, former CEO and co-founder of DICE, Fredrik Liliegrin, stated that for him the console is like a virus:
I would describe it as a Virus, that doesn't stick.
...
Ask people how often they play the Wii, that are not the core game consumer that buys one because they have an Xbox 360 and a Wii or a PlayStation 3 and a Wii. The people that only own the Wii, ask that consumer how often they use their machine. They just don't use it, it was cool, but they're not gamers, so they put it away.
He also is quite sure that Nintendo realises their console isn't actually a "games" machine:
Nintendo is smart in that way in that they realize this is not a video game machine, this is not a games game machine.
Whether he would be willing to make a game on the Wii himself?
If I got paid to develop a Wii game I would do it. I would not put an original IP on the Wii today unless I thought I had an absolute home run.
I think he's hit the jackpot.
