Bro Buzz from GamePro managed to get an interview with Phil Harrison and XBOX Exec Peter Moore about Nintendo Wii and PS3.
“I think Peter Moore is exactly right. I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3.”
“What we have in addition to a great game system is a Blue Ray player, a network platform, a new controller, and HDD in every system combined in an unbelievably compelling package. And frankly I’m amazed that we can do it so cheaply.”
“The main differences are the 60 GB drive and the 20 GB drive in terms of disc storage. The 20 GB has HD component rather than HDMI. The 60 GB machine has additionally memory card slots on it, which are great for archiving photo and other content. But the 20 GB machine has USB ports so you can get all the functionality with external devices.”
That’s only a part of Phil Harrison’s statement. We find through his statement that PS3’s lowest version is not as bad as everyone thinks.
Both machines will have Blu-Rays disks as standard, both will play Blu-Ray movies as HD. The only difference is that the higher version will have a HDMI digital interconnect while the lower version has only a HD component.
“The end user will not notice any quality difference. Perhaps if you were projecting onto a gi-normous screen you might notice some difference, but also not every HD display has HDMI. So we’re providing a choice to the consumer.”
“Both versions will support 1080p.”
“We can now do with this controller what human beings do anyway which is move the controller around when they play games. So now as a game designer we can take that additional [motion-sensing] input and add it to the game experience either in a very obvious way or in a very subtle way. And we’re now experimenting with various ways to do this.”
About the PS3’s controller, Phil said that the idea with motion sensing came naturally, and it was obvious that another firm would find out this solution and if happened now, well, this is it.
The article is bigger then that, but I will leave you to find the rest. I just want to congratulate again Bro Buzz. And we will keep you posted about the changes.
