David Cage says Wii “is like a toy, a funny board game”

Last year, Quantic Dreams founder David Cage said that he respects the Wii, but explained that he isn’t interested in making “toys.” Cage echoed similar statements about Nintendo’s console once again recently. In an interview with JeuxVideo.fr, he noted that the Wii “is like a toy, a funny board game.” You can check out Cage’s full statements below.
“When you have a game console like the PlayStation that has a hard drive, a blu-ray reader, that connects to the internet, and does a billion other things, and that has a “hard” in terms of games that really is extraordinary, well, I think at some point people make the difference between something that is like a toy, a funny boardgame like the Wii, and a real… well a real multimedia center with an extremely strong videogame experience.”

No idea, so here are all the ones I could be bothered to write about! Enjoy!
