Square Enix’s CEO Yoichi Wada thinks Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are too complex for gaming and Nintendo DS is the ideal platform at least for Square Enix games.

In an interview with Financial Times Wada defined the two gaming consoles as “over-engineered”.

"There are too many specs--and you also need a high-definition TV, a broadband connection, and a deep knowledge of gaming--these consoles are mismatched to today's environment. In a year or two years, they will fare better." he explained.

From the beginning, Microsoft and Sony positioned their gaming consoles as entertainment hubs that can be used not only for playing games, but also for playing music and movies, connecting to Internet and other activities.

Instead Nintendo has marketed its DS console as simple device aimed to all kind of people, gamers or non-games, with a price tag affordable to anyone.

Square Enix announced this year that Dragon Quest IX, the latest instalment in its successful franchise, would only be produced for DS machine.

“We chose the Nintendo DS because the widest array of people use it, including people who previously did not play games before,” said Wada.
