PS3 News \ PlayStation Approach Inspired the Wii

Chris Deering, former president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, believes that the PlayStation has inspired some of the innovative features of the Wii.

In a recent interview Deering stated "...in some ways I smile at the success of Wii, knowing that it was PlayStation that kind of emancipated people from the keyboard, mouse and joystick with EyeToy." He went on to say "Then, with the success of that, [we] said that if we really want to bring in a much bigger audience we ought to look at this in other ways, and that’s what gave life to SingStar and even something like Buzz. And I think now, obviously, Wii has taken that concept and turned it into a console, so good on them."

Commenting on the success the Wii has seen in recent times Deering said "I think you’ll see more of that kind of thing happening with the other consoles, and obviously the power of the Cell chip should make PlayStation 3 the ultimate, definitive standard of gaming over the next five years."

It goes back and forth within the industry... sure they're competitors, but at the end of the day no secret is safe in this business and everyone learns from everyone elses successes and mistakes.



Very very true, no matter how Microsoft try the real classic and most fierce competition is between Sony and Nintendo as it always has been

the more exclusive companies the ps3 gets, the more games will be changed for the better for both graphics and gameplay because games that arent exclusive to ps3, are being held back to what the ps3 can really do with its cell processor...if that makes sense to you.
