We didn’t notice it, but Sega of America CEO Simon Jeffrey seems to think there’s a few lousy games on the Wii. In a recent interview withVentureBeat, Jeffrey actually uses the words “flood of crap” when talking about the Wii line-up.
“There is a lot of crap coming out for the Wii in general,” he says. “But if it’s not a good game, it doesn’t sell. That flood of crap will die down as publishers become more coherent. The Wii is a great opportunity for hitting hardcore gamers. No one is doing that.”
Jeffrey references the PlatinumGames-developedMadworldin reference to what Sega are doing to bring more “mature” software to the Wii. Time will tell whether or not the Wii market is really ready for such a title; one thing’s for sure, though — it’s on our “do want” list.
But we have to ask: When some publisher’s biggest selling titles could be considered part of this cheap-to-develop “flood of crap” (we’re looking at you,Carnival Games), how willing will they be to continue pumping money into other types of titles?
