It's not the size that counts, it's how you wiggle the worm
North American Sega president Simon Jeffrey believes more creative games will be found on Wii over the next two years as opposed to more "standardized" games found on Xbox 360 and PS3.
There is no doubt that we will see more risks, and therefore more creativity on both the Wii and the DS in the next couple of years," Jeffrey told MCV in an interview (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/28181/Most-creative-games-will-be-on-Wii-says-Sega-boss). "Just look at what EA is already doing on the Wii - EA doesn't usually do that kind of game."
By contrast, the Sega boss expects fewer original games on Xbox 360 and PS3 due to higher development costs that curb creative risk taking.
"We will probably see a fair bit of standardization for a while from third party publishers in the games that they develop for 360 and PS3, as the huge development costs are rationalized."
Jeffrey remained optimistic, however, on the 360's and PS3's future potential.
"We hope that we will see little creative sparks of genius popping up around the industry as game designers can afford to be wildly creative once again," he said. "The industry will be looking to Sony and Microsoft to bring as much new IP as possible."
