Capcom president Bill Gardener seems to have woke up on the wrong side of the bed as he issued the public with his views on the next-gen console race. Without anything nice to say about Sony, Nintendo and Sega he just dishes out negative comments about each company. I mean dissing Sony is great, Sega ok, but Nintendo?! Below are excerpts from FGNonline.

Gardener on Dolphin: As for Dolphin, Nintendo's highly secret console project, Gardner thinks more information should be provided to developers to garner significant third-party support. The console is scheduled to launch worldwide in fall 2000, and Gardner says, "From our perspective, we've got to be a little skeptical on [a Dolphin launch] next September, because unless some information comes quick, we won't have a product ready for them."

Gardener on PS2: Gardner explained his skepticism to mmWire that PlayStation2 can sell for less than $349, a price which he believes is too high to succeed in the mass-market. The complicated nature of a dual console and DVD player could also cause problems he predicts, saying, "Most people still can't program their VCR clocks. What if PS2 doesn't have a 'play' button on the front of it? I didn't see one." So is PlayStation2 set to be jack-of-all-trades and master of none? "I would argue that if you're a DVD player, then you're a DVD player," says Gardner, "and if you don't have the controls for it, you're not a DVD player."

Gardener on Dreamcast: Gardner maintains that the industry will not support three platforms, and further insists that Sega's much-reported product shortages will not be well-received by consumers and retailers. He comments, "If retailers lose customers because of a lack of product, there's going to be some hard feelings."
