Sony CEO Howard Stringer: PS3 infinitely more fun than Wii - Image 1 


Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman and CEO of Sony, is not only confident with the PlayStation 3 after sales picked up when the 40GB model became available to the market, but he also believes the more powerful console is infinitely more fun than the Nintendo Wii.

"I'm happy that 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 and demanding and exciting," Stringer told group of reporters according to Guardian Unlimited.

Sony's head honcho is aware of the PS3's struggling in sales compared to the competition, but he foresees better things ahead. "We've some catching up to do, but at least we have the opportunity to connect the PS3 with the PlayStation Portable and beyond," he stated.

November was a great month for Sony's hot console as it sold more than the WIi in Japan, and Stringer said he is now more confident that the PS3 will get through its early cycle. "I'm glad that the last few weeks have generated excitement about PlayStation 3. Everyone's stopped talking about it the way they were six months ago," the CEO concluded.

# PS3 so much more fun.Staibdude 2007-12-13 16:30
Oh ya, I love how every game has the most complex controls that take 2 days to learn. Every game is from a third person perspective instead of being part of the game. Who wants that? Not to mention the developer credits are awesome to read. They have a whole 10 minutes of game studios that made the game. I've memorized all of the staff for "Tales of Genji". Not to mention simple button pressing is so much better than simply swinging a Wiimote. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE RETARDED, THIS IS THE MOST SARCASTIC I HAVE EVER BEEN EVER!!! PS3 is repulsive! It has such a bad reputation now that no one wants to buy one anymore! Yes, Mister Common Sense, there is truth out there even though you fail to recognize any of it. The war may have just begun since the price cut, but Sony will still lose it!

I was playing the PS3 the other day and I was trying out boogie and Zelda + it looked like it should be on the gamecube, I was suprised at how a ps3 could be this bad,... oh wait (a tic lmao) that was the Wii >.<



Well I actually played Warhawk the other day and can tell you that it can beat half the games on the Wii, and games that are coming soon are going to kill it lol. I already have this crazy game called Unreal Tournament 3. Dont see how you see drakes fortune and haze as all the ps3 has (must be smoking somthing strong.)



So.. Tic tac toe hoe

"Not to mention simple button pressing is so much better than simply swinging a Wiimote"



Oh cause the PS3 dosnt have Sixaxis, I guess it dissapeared in your mind or somthing huh? I get the best of both worlds, I got great and unique gameplay (with the Sixaxis and PSeye), Plus great graphics that the Wii cant pull off.



"Oh ya, I love how every game has the most complex controls that take 2 days to learn"



If you cant get the controls down in about a couple of minutes than I do understand why'd you get the wii lol..



"The war may have just begun since the price cut, but Sony will still lose it"



All I have to say to that is you think the Wii will win if the PS3 cant? LoL, go play pokemon and stop being a damn fanboy.



"Every game is from a third person perspective instead of being part of the game. Who wants that?"



Have you not seen Cod4, resistance, Unreal, Haze, RainbowSix, and Killzone 2? You just showed how much of a fanboy you are by that line.

Another thing.. If you dont like the credits then skip it you dumbas5.

Its bad reputation is about to smack you in the face.

# hey eclipze...Someone_PR 2007-12-13 19:10
stop reply to this kind of people... is useless... if the happy to buy another gamecube with a new controller is up to them... and in the way I think... even the developers doesn't want to make good games in it because all the wii market is in casual games...



Like I always said, talking about the PS3 with saying doesn't have games or something like that just change the jingle... the PS3 have many game and awsomes to coming so stop that... it was only 8 months without more than 3 good games but now? wow... if there the worst fanboy of the three is the wii fanboys... I'm the owner of the best of both worlds away from the worst...

Yea, I guess randomly swinging your wiimote about is tons more fun that hit a button over and over.

This is some serious jibberish. I don't know how you guys even turn this argument into fanboy central. The guy is the CEO of SONY CORPORATION. OFCOURSE HE IS GOING TO FREAKIN SAY THE PS3 IS INFINITLY MORE FUN. What'd you expect? "Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Halo and Gears of War are all great games. That's why we are disbanding the PlayStation project and submitting to Nintendo and Microsoft".

# Ha! You suck Mister Common Sense!!!The Obsidian 2007-12-14 04:47
What mr sense?? It seems you COMPLETLY ignored the amazing games the wii has instead you just stated the bad side of the wii instead of actually thinking of both sides equally and stateing your opinion....well big surprise you never do that...and wii sports is A DEMO GAME!!! that is its purpose uh you know to be a DEMO! Thats why it came with the wii..and WTF is up with you saying Staibdude has down syndrome thats kindof a serious disease you ***** and what he meant um....you know if you can comprehend it that is is that the wii is obviously less complicated than the Six axis controller and its less "intimidating" also because of the fact that all you have to do is swing it for some game for example! Cause you know thats why Old people have gotten in to it!

Whats funny is how personal some of you Wii fans get from an opinion, right or wrong doesn't matter. Fact is Stringer isn't saying the Wii sucks, it just saying the PS3 has more Fun games, his opinion nothing more. Yet you Wii fanboy gets all pissed and $hit and turn this into a Flame war, Good job.



I personally don't give a rats A$$ about which system is fun, fact is the PS3 has games i like and i will continue to play them and buy them. I also see some games i like on the 360 and when i get one then i will play them as well. Stop turning this into the Wii rules all debate your just showing your true colors, lowering your mentality and lack of understanding of an opinion.



if you don't agree with this article than say so, but think attacking the PS3 will make you look like smart and cool people.



Anyone behind the Wii sales would actually be happy of the decrease of hardware and Will say the same thing. Im even surprised this is newsworthy. He said nothing wrong in his opinion.

# Dear Mr. Common Sense, a.k.a., "Short Bus"-Staibdude 2007-12-14 12:55
I would like to add, Mr. "Common Sense", yes, the PS3 controller does have the sixaxis function. But the only game I have seen that fully utilizes this is the jet-fighter game demoed at E3 2006. (Maybe along with other jet-fighter games.) You say the Wiimote is intimidating with its 7 buttons. If YOU had any common sense, you would know that the PS3 controller has 17 buttons. Let's name them. D-Pad Up, D-Pad Down, D-Pad Left, D-Pad Right, X, O, Traingle, Square, L1, L2, R1, R2, L3, R3, Select, Start and the big PS in the middle. And how do you play tennis on Wii Sports? SWING THE RACKET, DUMB CRAP!!!! If you are wondering if I have even seen a PS3, I owned one for a few months. Only motion sensabilty: do a flip by flicking the controller front, back, or to the side. Oh ya, the PS3 has such good SIXAXIS control. Let me name some exclusives for the Wii while I'm at it: NiGHTS, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, Brawl, Pokémon Battle Revolution (don't you diss that game), Metroid Prime Corruption, and Fire Emblem. Notice I said SOME. You named SOME yourself. Feel free to post the online ratings for each of these games. I'll surely do it for yours.

I believe what you are saying is true, and yes, I do play games on other platforms. Halo is loads of fun, and I haven't played many games for the PS3, but I'm sure a good one is out there (Not putting it down, I just haven't looked into it much). Every console has its shining moments. But, as you said, it's when people get stuck up about consoles that the real fire is lit. It's not that I don't like the other consoles, its just that I find the Wii more appealing because it presents the gameplay and titles I like more often than other systems. It's when people start putting down my interests that I gotta stick up for them. Like your religion, ya know? You don't agree with someone who hates your religion, or convert right away. You have to stick up for what you believe in! This is why these Console Wars have been so competitive. I'm sure everyone has a favorite game on different systems, but it's how many of their favorite games a system can present. I should write a book.

Wii is funner than the PS3 but there is also a limit because after 3 weeks it gets hella boring and im not saying the PS3 is good ether but the 360 is the master piece and i also own all of them. But is i did not play my 360 I would play my Ps3 over the Wii.
