More PS3 Words From the Horse's Mouth

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 22, 2006 @03:20AM from the heya-wilbur dept.

Game|Life had the chance to sit down with Ken Kutaragi, Phil Harrison, and Kaz Hirai; Chris Kohler has some details on things left unsaid at the PS3 conference. From the article: "Q: You're the head of Sony's worldwide development studios. What the hell is up with that Africa game? A: Video games have a function in life, and that is: wish fulfillment. You can become a mercenary, a fighter pilot. On PS3, we can expand the realm of that experience. Africa allows you to experience a very interesting part of the world, a safari in the plains of Africa. The gameplay is entirely non-violent. You don't kill the animals. It emphasizes the positives rather than the negatives. It's about collecting experiences and keeping them for posterity."

What gets me is that everyone here is screaming to high heaven about the price of this full on, and really quite nifty game console/Blu-Ray player (that last bit may or may not end up being a good thing) when I'd be willing to bet the grand percentage of them have $600 video cards in their Windows game PCs.

So an expensive video card is ok, but a game system chock full over cool goodies (Cell, Blu-Ray, Graphics Cars, Linux) is totally unreasonable?

And BTW, if $600 looks like the 'GDP of a small country' to you, I suggest getting another job. Clearly your employer is paying you the Indian wages, rather than the going British salary.
