John Romero says only Wii will survive
,----[ Quote ]
| "My prediction is that the game console in the vein of the PS3 and XBOX
| 360 is going to either undergo a massive rethink or go away altogether.
| The Wii has the perfect design for a console that doesn?t pretend to be a
| PC and is geared more toward casual gamers than hardcore gamers. The
| hardcore gamers are going to either be playing on their PCs or a new
| PC-like platform that sits in the living room but still serves the
| whole house over wifi, even the video signal."
