Factor 5 speak Wii

:

Developers Factor 5, previously responsible for bringing the Rogue Leader franchise to N64 and Gamecube, recently spoke about Nintendo’s Wii console.

Talking with IGN.com after the company’s showing of the PS3 exclusive Lair, at the Tokyo Games Show, president Julian Eggerbrecht revealed “I think Nintendo is doing exactly the right thing. They would have been crushed between the two others if they tried to go the same route.” 

“The all-in-one HDTV media monster is something I love and want at home, but Nintendo is simply not the company to create that beast. Sony is”, he added.

Eggerbrecht seemed to also embrace the secondary console philosophy, stating “Many people could do with just a PS2 and no GameCube, but the Wii is so radically different and fresh that everybody who buys a PS3 might also get a Wii in addition.”
