Sega boss warns of Wii's "flood of crap




The Sega of America boss said that the wave of poor quality games on Wii will die down "as publishers become more coherent.""The Wii is a very cost effective platform to experiment with," he said. "There is a lot of crap coming out for the Wii in general."If it's not a good game, it doesn't sell. That flood of crap will die down as publishers become more coherent," he added, speaking to Venture Beat.Sega has been one of the Wii's biggest third-party success stories, albeit with the help of a Nintendo mascot; Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is expected to clear 7 million units this year.Jeffery feels that the Wii's current library doesn't satisfy hardcore gamers, but reckons that Platinum Games' super-violent MadWorld will fill some of the void."The Wii is a great opportunity for hitting hardcore gamers," he said. "No one is doing that. With MadWorld from Platinum Games, we are trying to show that millions of Wii gamers want to move on to mature games. They don't have to have an Xbox 360 to do that."
