Kotaku
It's contrition week at Kotaku Tower! First Ubisoft apologised for their rubbish Wii launch games, now Activision are trying to make amends for grabbing the Gamecube and taking a big, third-party shit on it. Following the announcement of their financial results, Activision boss Robert Kotick, realising that Nintendo might actually make his boys some money, has changed his tune.
[GameCube] really became a non-strategic platform for us, and most of our development effort was focused on straight ports at low costs to leverage our franchises.
No arguments there.
For a few generations, Nintendo software was better than third-party software. When you look at where we are today...we think we're actually in the best position and probably even in a better position than the first-party to leverage our development dollars.We're reinvesting against the Nintendo platform in a way that in the last cycle we really did not.
So what he's basically saying is that because more people are buying the Wii they can make more money off it, so they'll invest more money in it. Ah, capitalism. So warm, so cuddly.
