Doug Lombardi (Valve) taken aback by the Wii's success and suddenly INTERESTED

Its happening folks... the Wii's success has forced alot of devs to eat crow... and now they're coming crawling back to Nintendo.

Doug Lombardi of Valve has commented on among other things, the Wii in a gametrailers interview he said:

"I'm just going to be blunt with you, we missed the Wii. No pun intended. We are all really big fans of Nintendo's games. But the Wii is just something we didn't see coming and I don't think that our instinct on it was you know..... it's  not a next gen system....you know it's not neccessarily a perfect fit for pushing the edges of source and graphics and all these other kinds of things and because we're just sort of entering the console stuff we weren't super aggressive about going out there and finding out what the console could do. Having said all that we're all super big fans and we're not working on something currently but as much as people are playing and talking about it at Valve, I wouldn't be suprised if someone came up with a cool concept that we all decided to go for."

video interview including HL2 Episode 2 talk and a bit about gabe newell on PS3
