Will Wright has reportedly been discussing the possibility of Spore on consoles and its looking promising at least for Wii owners. He mentioned you could have a straight port over to the PS3 and Xbox 360, but there is the opportunity to make something really unique for the Wii which is more appealing.
<blockquote>But what about a version for the consoles? Unsurprisingly given EA's increased Nintendo focus it looks like the Wii could be the frontrunner.
So you can sort of look at a straight port to the PS3 and Xbox 360 and basically have the same game we have on the PC... or we could say, 'What can we do on this platform that will help us explore different parts of the design?' I think the Wii is really unique in that sense, with the things you can do on Wii that you can't do on other platforms right now. It's represented a lot of learning for us in terms of the directions we might take it. So I'd say that's one of the under-appreciated aspects of how we choose to deploy this on different platforms.</blockquote>
