Activision tries to one-up Ubisoft at being sorry

Yesterday we reported that Ubisoft owned up to their lazy Wii ports. Today, Activision CEO Robert Kotick reminded Next-Gen.biz readers that his company was dumping ports on Nintendo systems before it was cool.Konick admitted that the GameCube was a "non-strategic platform" for them, which meant that they couldn't be bothered to put significant effort into it. But now that the Wii is huge, they're putting more attention into Nintendo releases. Like Guitar Hero: "There probably is no better product to take advantage of the capabilities of the Wii than Guitar Hero."
But ... isn't Guitar Hero probably going to be a port of some kind? Or if it's not, why develop a Wii-specific version? And how is a game that requires a specialized controller going to take advantage of the capabilities of the Wii, when most of the capabilities are tied to the system's standard controller? Isn't this exactly the kind of thing that was the problem before?

Air guitar maybe? I think that'd be pretty nifty.

I totally agree. I think that Guitar Hero III is one of those games that it makes sense to port to the Wii directly and people will buy it and it will be good for the Wii for that to happen. Guitar Hero III is one of those popular games that will make the Wii even more appealing, because it bring us a step closer to not buying two systems just so you can have that Xbox for a few games they don't offer on the Wii.
