Will Wright’s upcoming ‘universe sim’ is reportedly heading to Nintendo’s next-gen console
Speaking to The Guardian, The Sims creator Will Wright has confirmed that his hugely anticipated ‘life, the universe and everything’ sim Spore is in development for the Nintendo Wii.
Wright has recently stated that in his opinion the Wii is the only genuine next-gen games system, criticising the rival PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles on the basis that they are merely extensions of their predecessors.
Lasyt week the famed development guru won the coveted Fellowship GAVTA at the recent games-based ceremony.
Spore is expected to be released on PC in Q2 2008, though no release date on the Wii version has yet been given.

Next gen?
I thought that next gen meant it was an extension of the previous version. I don't remember him complaining that the PS2 and GameCube were just extensions of their predecessors (in fact, technologically, the Wii is probably the closest in architecture to it's predecessory of any of the consoles). Or that the Xbox was just an extension of a PC.
The term next gen is so vauge, it really doesn't refer to the technology or control systems. It's just encapsulates the cyclical release nature of home consoles, and allows people to talk about the latest release cycle.
Interesting
I'm very glad that Spore is going to be on Wii.
