Valve Software has hinted that Nintendo's Wii will factor into its development plans in the future, Gabe Newell describing the console as "more valuable" than Xbox 360 and PS3.
While the developer has nothing in production for Wii at the moment, Newell has said the console "represents big opportunities as a whole" and describes Valve's current no-Wii-game status as "an obvious hole in our strategy".
Unlike Xbox 360 and PS3, both of which Newell says you can pretty much think of as a PC, "You can't think of Wii as graphics, CPU, texture bandwith scaling, you have to think of it as more fundamentally".

"...I think it's more valuable. I think it's more interesting than just graphics chip - CPU combination", he added in an interview with Game Informer.
Newell's obviously very taken with Wii - "It's the machine I have at home", he says - and his comments on the console are certainly very suggestive of plans at Valve to develop for the machine. But, if that did happen, would if be Half-Life?
