Silent Hill designer Masashi Tsuboyama spoke recently to Japanese gaming publication Dengeki Playstation about the release status of the upcoming Silent Hill 5:
…We only have ideas but we have been assessing next-generation consoles such as Sony’s Playstation 3… We have not decided the console yet… Silent Hill 1 to 3 have all been multi platform appearing on either Playstation 3, Xbox or PC. This was when we were working at DVD level with no HD needed. Mutli-Platform will be discussed but nothing is certain yet…
The Xbox 360 is definitely a candidate. However the sales are Japan are unimpressive. It does have a large installed based in the West though which will be looked at… 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 for but the control scheme would be hard to implement in a Silent Hill game.
