Interview Reveals Possible New Wii Services
In a recent interview with Gamasutra, Xfire’s CEO Mike Cassidy had some interesting news about the instant messaging and gaming stats company potentially coming to the Wii. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
Are the 360 and Wii closed off to you?
Integration with the 360 will clearly be more difficult than with other console partners.
You previously commented that you were “in talks with one other console maker”, but haven’t revealed who this is. Is it safe to assume that you were talking about Nintendo, and what has become of this discussion?
Stay tuned!
Where do you see console online services going in the future?
Clearly, console gamers are very interested in:
- Knowing what games their console buddies are playing
- Joining their console buddies in online games
- Communicating (via text or voice chat) with their console buddies
- Downloading new content, like game trailers, game expansion packs, game mods, etc.
- Tracking their online game play stats and accessing these stats from any website
