In an interview with the Japanese magazine Dengeki Playstation, Masashi Tsuboyama, the lead designer of the Silent Hill series, talked about Silent Hill 5 and its possibility of being a multiplatform title.
Tsuboyama said in the interview, "…We only have ideas but we have been assessing next-generation consoles such as Sony’s Playstation 3… We have not decided [on] the console yet… Silent Hill 1 to 3 have all been multi platform appearing on either Playstation 3 [Playstation 2], Xbox or PC. The Xbox 360 is [definitely] a candidate.
However the sales [in] Japan are unimpressive…This by no means says we will not consider the idea [putting it on the Wii] but the general opinion is that Wii is for family games, and I’m sure the fans don’t play Silent Hill with their grandma! …Nintendo Wii would be easier to make [it] for but the control scheme would be hard to implement in a Silent Hill game."
Basically, Tsuboyama is trying to say that Silent Hill 5 will definitely be released first for the PS3, and then possibly for the Xbox 360 as a port. Silent Hill 5 will not be released for the Wii.
This seems like more bad news Sony. Enough said.
