Scott Steinberg, Sega's US Vice President of marketing, reckons the popularity of the Wii could🦹 wear off by 2008, and believes PS3 will emerge victorious in the current consol♕e war.
Although the latest salesfigures from the NPD Group put Nintendo's console significantly out front, focusing on raw hardwaregusto, Steinberg told Reuters that the console "wꩵill 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."
He also questioned the long-term appeal of Wii's motion control. Sega may be developing the likes of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and Ghost Squad for Nintendo's machine, but Steinberg explained he's "a little concerned about the creative depth 🌸of the Wii pool.💦"
"I'm not sure if they will top out in 2008 or 2007... How much value can developers and creative folks get out o𒁏f this wrist motion two years from now, or 5 years from now, or 10 years from now?... How can they design products that aren't too derivative of what's already out there?"
