More Moore on EA Sports

MTV Multiplayer has posted another statement from EA Sports president Peter Moore about the company's prospects on Wii. Apparently the smiling athletes and "All-Play" control schemes are working, but not so much that sales of the Wii versions of their sports franchises are catching up to those on the other consoles.

"The challenge we face is that that consumer gets Wii Sports right out of the box," Moore said, "and that's a sports experience that's good enough for a lot of people."

Moore seems happy with the status of the Wii games as "secondary" versions, and selling them as companion pieces for multi-console owners. " I think there's going to be a very strong multi-console ownership in homes. And I think that's bearing out." It's an interesting strategy, and one that Moore hopes will cause sales of the Wii games to grow. It's also interesting for Moore to so frankly discuss the lack of market dominance on the Wii.

Does anyone else think that if there's one segment of the video game market that isn't dominated by EA Sports, it isn't such a bad thing? In fact, it's nice to have a bit of variety in the industry.
