Default Dev says: Wii is a piece of sh*t!!

Oh dear, this guy clearly doesn't like the Nintendo Wii and clearly indicates that, from a power perspective, it is last gen in his opinion. A bit harsh in my opinion but he clearly knows more than me.

Quote:
Chris Hecker who is working on Spore at Maxis took the liberty at this years GDC to state the Wii is a piece of sh*t! Hecker noted the Wii is nothing more than two GC games stuck together. Its not just the graphics that are the problem, its the Wii's incapability to handle complex processing routines and evolve AI.

"The Wii is a piece of ****!" Hecker began his talk, which was called "Fear of a Wii Planet." He blasted a few bars of Public Enemy to set the tone. Hecker said the Wii is nothing more than two GameCubes stuck together with duct tape, and that the console isn't powerful enough to provide the next-gen experience he has been waiting for.

Although he stated the system is "severely underpowered," Hecker noted that he wasn't simply referring to the Wii's graphical capabilities. He wants to spend a console's CPU making games more intelligent, and he has found the Wii doesn't have the power to process things like complicated AI.
