And yet, no mention of Wii's numbers. Well, gotta' make it look good somehow.

I'm not sure we should be trusting the prognostications of someone who's running a ship with almost no fuel left, and who joined the crew from a company that is not in the best of shape, now, either.

This is especially funny since Harrison was there, with the development of the PS3, talking about how physical distribution is here to stay and that Blu-Ray is the wave of the future.

Amen.

What an amazing direction for this discussion to take.

Remember, breaking the mold is one thing; making the game fun is another.

It's not a matter of those who try something new being smacked down. They have to make the game fun first, groundbreaking second. If the second part intrudes too much on the production process, you have problems.

Sequels frequently get good reviews because, while they may be tragically un-inventive, if the first one was fun, the second one will likely be fun. And for a game, that's all that matters.

For me, Mirror's Edge was annoying. The fight mechanics were problematic for me, and the trial-and-error nature of the game was downright infuriating.
