Sony: PS3 games are more "fun, demanding and exciting" than Wii games.

Sony's chairman, Sir Howard Stringer, is confident that the PlayStation 3 console would bolster sales as the electronics firm moves into the next phase of its recovery, stating that PS3 is being seen in a new, more positive light by consumers. Source.

Stringer said: "I'm happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware. The PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting. The question people quite rightly asked was if the PS3 was going to get through this early cycle. I feel much more confident about that now."

The PS3 initially took the sheen off Sony's other gains when it was launched a year ago. The console arrived late after production glitches and received a lukewarm reception from gamers, who deemed it too expensive and short on software.

But with the recent rise in sales and new games on the horizon, analysts agree that Sony has turned a corner. "Things do look a lot better than they did 12 months ago," said Hiroshi Kamide of KBC Securities. "My feeling is that they will continue to have a better time of it, but there is still a mountain to climb."

I'd say both consoles are about equal, 360 has better games than both atm, generally speaking of course as game taste is subjective.

I agree with him in almost everything, Im serious...AgentA-Mi6

Besides the cheap shot at the Wii, he does have a point. Things are starting to look much better for the PS3 and it is getting nowhere near as much hate as it was getting a few months ago. Add a price drop in 2008 + a few highly anticipated titles like MGSIV and GT5, and the PS3 will do great.

Speaking of price drops, where's Microsoft's? I was waiting for a clean $100 price drop last year and they tried to trick me with their half price drop.

It seems like they're missing their chance to strike while the irons hot on Sony and maybe even gain a little ground on the Wii.

hell Nintendo Games are better than Wii

I think PS3 games are more exciting than Wii games. Are they more fun, I don't know, I don't have a Wii or PS3, but Wii doesn't have many games now or upcoming that interests me, but the PS3 does.

Though I don't care what Howard Stringer has to say. What esle is he going to say? ''Wii games are amazing and are way better than the PS3s.'' lol

GTAIV, I think.

If not that, then around Gears 2 release.

rikkustrife

Of course he should have. He doesn't want his ass kicked and his name taken does he?

:lol:That's why I'm playing SMG more than any PS3 game. And I have more PS3 games than Wii games. BioShockOwnz

Because he was referring to BioShockOwnz in his statement.

As for the topic, it's his job to talk good about his console.

That's it.

Ah, the old "bigger is better" arguement. Well, as I've pointed out many times before, with this logic that means any game on more powerful hardware isbetter than anything before it. Not so, of course. Horsepower does not dictate fun, as so many c1assic arcade games will attest. There are games out there today that can't surpass some of them in the sheer amount of fun. And by this logic, Ratchet and Clank is better than Super Mario Galaxy because it's prettier. It's more fun because it has more powerful hardware behind it. Sounds logical, doesn't it?TheEndBoss

PS3 does have a lot of great games out but there's no denying that Sony have put way too much emphasis on graphics for a few of their games. I mean, Heavenly Sword was pretty but the gameplay wasn't great. Lair was a "beautiful disaster". Ratchet was beaten by SMG. Resistance didn't really try anything new.

The only real major success from their 1st party team has been Uncharted. I'm hoping they've gotten the message that gameplay is more important than graphics and will deliver with games like Killzone, GT5, and White Knight Story next year.

I can't be mad at a company promoting their product

and its matter of opinion anyway, which I agree with.

Why not compare it to the x360, Mr. Stringer? ;)

The ONLY part that I feel was a woops moment is when he said that Ps3 games are more fun, demandingand exciting than Wii games. After beating R&C and SMG I can assure you this is simply not the case and i mean in all 3 of those areas. To be honest my Ps3 has yet to actually show me anything that was "Wow this is fun exciting and Demanding" Like SMG. Till then I would zip the lip a bit.mojito1988

So how's SMG more demanding than a lot of PS3 games? The other two are opinions, so enjoy that.

sony's lost everything but their arrogance :lol:100Gamer

omg does this fanboy give it a break!!?? he's all over the place!!

anyhoo, I must agree that PS3 games are more enjoyable than Wii games (except for SMG) That's just my opinion, though.

You gotta take Sony at their word, it's not like they have ever stuck their foot in their mouth or anything. :P

The PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting. Stringer

What games is he talking about? So far the best PS3 exclusive I've played is Heavenly Sword and GoW2 is waaaayyyy better andits a last gen game. Maybe uncharted is infinitly more fun but I think that it would geta higher rating than 8.0 if it was. I know he isnt talking about R&C because SMG makes it look like crap.

Trying to make your system look good is one thing but saying stuff like that is just stupid.

Thats stupid, last year all the analysts with the exception of one or two were saying that PS3 will come roaring out of the gate. It wasn't till the summer that even a few started changing their tune. Even then they just said PS3 made a mistake with the high price tag, and that with a price drop we'll see the true potential of the PS3. They have been wrong at every step, and they will be proven wrong again as soon as NPD releases the November numbers and PS3 is last of the next gen consoles.

You can expect 360s and Wiis lead to increase over the PS3 for some time.

Sorry, but Super Mario Galaxy owns the entire PS3 line up...

I think it's a true statement.

Not a lot of games for the Wii are all that exciting and demanding or even fun.

Oh snapsizzle
