Sega executive Scott Steinberg thinks that the Wii could start looking dated soon, as reported by Reuters. "I am a little concerned about the creative depth of the Wii pool," Steinberg said. "I'm not sure if they will top out in 2008 or 2007." He went on to say that "The Wii will start to look really dated in a couple years when developers get more value from the 360 and learn more and more about the PlayStation 3," adding that "We know the PS3 pool is pretty deep. There's a lot to exploit there."

It’s a bizarre thing for him to say, seeing how the company’s got releases in the pipeline for Nintendo’s console. Also, given how stellar Wii sales have been so far, I suspect that Nintendo stands to do pretty well in 2007. However, he’s correct in that the potential of the PS3 has yet to be realised.

With developing for the current generation of consoles so expensive, publishers are sticking to multiplatform releases. Multiplatform games have to be designed to fundamentally work on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, if not the PC as well. Because of this, they're much less likely to really use the capabilities of the PS3. Sony needs console-defining exclusives and fast.
