Evan Wells: There are a lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community

Naughty Dog may be doing games exclusively for Sony, given that they are a subsidiary of the media giant. But that doesn’t mean they can’t express appreciation for the other players out there. Evan Wells, co-president of ND, shares some praises for the Nintendo Wii.

Asked in an interview whether their developing firm si considering motion control in the future, Wells responded, even bringing the Wii and its software into the discussion.

“I think right for the genre that we’re in? We really don’t have any interest in using the motion control to do a third-person action game. If we were going to make a motion controller game, I think we’d want ot tackle it from the bottom up and make sure that we were designing the game around the motion control, the way the best Wii games are designed.

I’m not a Wii hater at all, in fact, it’s probably one of my most played consoles in the house. I have a 3-year old son which might account for that [laughs], but I think Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are some of the best experiences of this generation, honestly. They’re immensely playale and competitive, and just great fun with a group of people in the same room.Yeah, I think the PlayStation audience is totally for it, in fact, I bet you there are a lot of closet Wii owners in the PlayStation community. If there is some really good software for that motion controller, I think it can be a big, big success.”
