Get your Wii-remote pitchfork attachments ready and prepare to skewer David Perry—former Shiny boss, now at Acclaim—for his fanboy-riling, hiss-worthy evaluation of Nintendo's console savior, the Wii.

Perry tells PDF publication Disposable Media, in response to a question about ways Microsoft can tap into the "Blue Ocean" market Nintendo is targeting, that those casual fans will come around. They just need a shiny object to look at.

Perry speaketh:

The 360 and PS3's graphical power is essential in attracting the Wii's userbase. The fact is, gamers are attracted to beautiful looking games, they always have been, even back when the Konix was thought up. When a game comes out - a game like a Halo or something, something they haven't seen before - they'll drop everything and they'll drop their Wii controllers when it does.

You know, Perry may be right. Gamers weened on a series of quick, pick up and play games may look for something a little more robust when... HEY A NICKEL!!!
