Xbox Live 'Far More Impactful' than Wii: Say Molyneux

Former independent studio president (now a Microsoft employee) and developer luminary Peter Molyneux says Xbox Live will be more influential to the video game industry than Nintendo's popular Wii Remote.

"Microsoft is an incredibly smart company and I never fail to be impressed by just how clever they are," Molyneux remarked when asked about the innovation behind Nintendo's motion-sensing controls.

"Don't forget this is the company which pioneered LIVE which I believe will ultimately be far more impactful on video games in the long term than something like the Wii controller," he added.
