President of Epic Games Says the Wii is a Virus

Mike Capps, President of Epic Games, had this to say about the Nintendo Wii:

...It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on...

...As an investor you love [Nintendo], but as a next-gen console technology maker, they don't run [Unreal Engine 3] and they can't.

He also talks about downloadable content, GTA IV, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears 2, Portal, and more:

...You know, Ninja Gaiden I didn't really get into because it's so ****ing hard...

...Metal Gear, if it has boring-ass long cutscenes that I can't skip then I'll play for an hour and quit. If it's the non-stop action stuff that they've done and the smart AI and everything else in their games before then I'm going to play it obsessively and play it through twice. GTA I'll play but I won't be able to finish because it's going to be too damn big. A lot of us played Portal not because it was really fun but because we knew we could finish it...
