Bill Gates has been chatting to MTV and his voiced his personal opinions on the Nintendo Wii. They are rather more negative than his employee Peter Moore ,who recently praised the Wii and told users to buy it rather than the PS3.

Gates said to MTV that he has strong doubts over the Wii's and recently the PS3's motion sensing controllers. "There's room for innovation here, but moving that controller around, it's something that's not mainstream for most games," he stated. "It's tough because sometimes you move the controller, and you don't [want] to fly into the ground. You just want to put the controller down. People aren't that good at totally standing still. Even pilots actually sit in a chair when they do their flying. So there's a lot to be learned about these controllers."

Gates also went on to talk about the hand-held market, annnouncing that at this time Microsoft have no plans to create a competitor to the Nintendo DS and PSP. He didn't rule out the possibility for the future though.
