"The Wii is the antithesis of the Xbox 360. It's strictly for hardcore gamers. The attachment rate for the Xbox 360 is much higher than for the Wii. People who buy the 360 really like games... I think the current trend is that most people aren't buying the Wii as a game machine, but as a toy... It seems that Sony isn't sure what it wants to do. Is it making high-end electronics or a game console for gamers? I want them to clearly define their console."

Now this guys knows his stuff, FINALLY someones said it, if i was wearing a hat i'd take it off to him, thankyou!

This statement came after Square decided Nintendo was too stubborn let their users get at least near full access to the gaming online world.

Which then I could understand why he says the Wii is a toy, or at least in the terms that Nintendo isn't making it a full fledged gaming console - which in order to be you'd have to allow for a certain interaction between users in a game online.

But on the developers end, the solution should be simple should Square had the vision for it on the Wii (in regards to their attempt to extend their FF XI franchise.) Simply put nameless faces, just because the players cant chat or send messages doesn't mean they can't play the same game.

All in all a Nintendo Wii, Mii forum channel or communications link would be interesting. (This is beside the point)

Just like Suda51 fell into dismay at the failure of his title in Japan. Square seems to have lost their inge
