As most of you probably know, Sega of America's VP of marketing went on the record questioning whether the Wii was actually just a fad. "I am a little concerned about the creative depth of the Wii pool," he said. "I'm not sure if they will top out in 2008 or 2007 ... The Wii will start to look really dated in a couple years when developers get more value from the 360 and learn more and more about the PlayStation 3 ... How much value can developers and creative folks get out of this wrist motion two years from now, or 5 years from now, or 10 years from now?" Of course he probably got a phone call from Nintendo asking what the hell he was doing, so he more or less retracted his statement, saying that it wasn't on Nintendo, but on Sega and other third parties to develop creative games. The question to you is: do you agree with Mr. Steinberg? Will the "creative depth of the Wii pool" run out at the end of this year or next?

I am actually split on this. <edit - reserved for a large statement later that will be well thoughts out>

Wait, this is coming from Sega, who has currently supplied the Wii with a number of fantastically-designed games like Monkey Ball Banana Blitz and Sonic and the Secret Rings? What about Guitar Hero III? What about No More Heroes? What about Super Mario Galaxy? What about NiGHTS Journey to Dreams? What about Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles? To even pose the question is silly. I say, so long as the consumers keep buying it (And they are), publishers and developers will HAVE to keep trying to invent and create.
