American Mcgee gives props to Wii, says PS3 and Xbox 360 will kill each other.....

In an interview for Computer and Videogames, American Mcgee (developer of Alice and the forthcoming Bad Day L.A.) has declared the Wii as the winner of gamer's hearts in the next generation battles......

In an extensive and forthright interview which will be appearing exclusively on CVG tomorrow, McGee, who's currently in the throes of releasing Bad Day LA as well as working on movie projects Grimm and Oz, responded to our question about the prospects for the next generation race by saying, "The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor upgrade." When quizzed further, McGee told us he thought that Nintendo would be the true next-generation champion for gamers adding, " I sense that Nintendo is going to capture the hearts of gamers while Microsoft and Sony stab each other in the neck for market domination. Nintendo is focused on innovation and games. The other guys are focused on making money."
