Wii users just aren't hardcore enough.

Akira Yamaoka, sound designer and public face of the Silent Hill franchise took part in an interview found in the Wired blog network. When queried as to whether or not the Wii could be home to further installments (more precisely the 5th) he revealed that there was no intention to do so, leaving the reason to the clear fact, that Wii users aren't "hardcore" enough.

WN: What is the future of the Silent Hill series?

AY: We're making Silent Hill 5 for next-gen consoles. Are there any other platforms besides that? [laughter]

WN: There's the Wii.

AY: Ah, the Wii. Wiiiiiiiiii... Silent Hill Wii. Can we do it? Will players like it?

WN: Yeah! There's a lot of potential there, using the remote as a flashlight, or a knife...

AY: Yeah, there's potential.

WN: But no plans.

AY: No plans. The Wii user isn't a hardcore user.


Well there you have it, according to this guy, the Wii is neither a next-gen console or home to hardcore users. Bit of a silly move if you ask me when you consider his inbox if probably full of hate mail by now. But I do love when people say what they think.

i dont recon there are many hardcore wii gamers. most people who have a wii also own a second system which they kind of use for 'next gen', while their wii gets put aside only to be brought out when the neighbours kids come over or during a hostage situation as a distraction. i dont own one, and until i see any game which interests me in any small way i will continue with my 360 only.
i dont play enough video games to justify having any more consoles. i dont even play my 360 that much. halo 3 and bioshock are right there waiting to be played but i always just get bored after half an hour and go out.
are you going to get a ps3?

Being a Wii owner, I'm not going to wait for the Wii to start developing "hardcore" games simply because the company has a philosophy of attracting both hardcore (read: Nintendo exclusive games like Zelda) and the casual (read: kiddy) audience. If Nintendo had allowed Wii-exclusive 3rd party games like Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Grand Theft Auto, Star Wars, etc.

i try to make my coffee myself whenever possible because i know how i like it and no matter how many times i say "lots of milk and plenty of sugar" i always end up with something more than a little short of perfection.
in rainbows is a good album. in my opinion it doesnt touch the bends or ok computer, though. im not a fan of the young knives. maybe the weed will help.
