Kaz Hirai says it's important Sony does not allow Nintendo to 'run off alone'.

Speaking to NBonline (translated by Kotaku), Sony Computer Entertainment head Kaz Hirai has stressed how important games are in the future of the PlayStation 3 - not so much that it's a Blu-ray player and other such non-gaming functionality.

"The thing that I did when I took over last year was to boast the appeal of games themselves... The main premise of the PS3 is video games. That's the absolutely most important thing that we cannot lose sight of," said Hirai.

The SCE CEO also expressed concern at the current market domination enjoyed by Nintendo, noting the platform holder "cannot allow Nintendo run off alone".
