Thanks for doing the interview on Gamespot. Apart from it being a very informative and fun conversation to listen to, it also made me aware of this site.
I have a question about the interview: Concerning the Wii, you first said something along the lines of not seeing yourself jumping around the room playing games, which is more than understandable. A little while after that though, you talk about the Xbox 306 controller, and how it's too complicated for people who don't play games, and that you think it has to be a lot more simple and easy to pick up, while still being able to provide a lot of depth. To me, this is exactly what Nintendo is trying to do with the Wii and its controller. The question is then: do you have any other ideas of how the user can interact with games more easily and intuitively? And do you think that the Wii controller is still a step in the right direction?
About your voice, everyone's right. Man, it was like listening to Bob Ross talk about the games industry. Except that you're alive, and aren't talking about happy little peeks and pokes.
Great stuff, thanks!
