Do Uwe Like Boxing?

How big of a douche is Uwe Boll?
Apparently a really, really big one.

I'm late to the party, because I came and saw you at work, but it’s hard to tell where video games are going. I think the reality is cost will drive it in certain directions. You'll see lots of GTAs and Halos being released because the games appeal to a huge chunk of the video game industry's audience. The smart advertising people at Nintendo realized they haven't really even tapped the surface of people who are potential video game players.

I think for the time being at least, we will continue to see sort of the same trends. Lots of GTA/Halo type games, the occasional Final Fantasy (which to be honest I've enjoyed the last few FFs), and then the niche games. Part of the oddness of US video games is we don't really even tap into what the Japanese crowd gets because it is just assumed we won't enjoy the game. I guess I'm hoping video game evolution will sort of push a more universal sales pattern where each nation receives a lot of the same catalogue (minus maybe the random dating games and hentai games, but I assure you there is a market for that in the US too).
