While waiting in line to play Madden '07 on Wii, I overheard a spontaneous interview with an EA developer. The interviewer asked what the EA employee thought about gaming, specifically Wii to which he replied: "I get the impression that a large portion of game developers really hope Wii can do well. [The console] is an excellent chance for artists, designers, and creators to move gaming forward. However, the console does pose a higher risk to development companies and publishers that are trying to turn a profit."
Even Wii can't escape the age-old adage of the creatives versus the "suits." Should be interesting to see how the balance, if any, plays out.
