EA Sports: Wii U “absolutely” a next-gen platform

Is Wii U a next-gen system? That’s what some people have been debating. One group will say no, while another will say yes. It doesn’t help that there are developers out there who are labeling the console as a stop gap in-between generations.

However, EA Sports general manager of football Cam Weber ultimately believes that the Wii U is a true next-gen system.

When Weber was asked by Game Informer if he really sees the system as a next-gen platform, he said:

“Absolutely. It’s a [new] platform with a new controller input, so we’ll do everything we can to deliver an experience that will take advantage of the hardware for that consumer.”
