Kutaragi's comments echo a recent Phil Harrison interview in which he commented: "We believe that the PS3 will be the place where our users play games, watch films, browse the Web, and use other computer functions. The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC." The combined executive comments appear to signify a change in marketing tactics for the company, who may have always had this scenario in mind, but are pushing it much more strongly following a somewhat mixed E3 showing from a PR perspective.

Kowen, come on, are we going to use PR to define it?

I'm looking at how the online gaming runs. It's not nearly as open (while secure at the same time) as the myriads of PC online games (dedicated servers, server browsing lists, the host's priveleges of kicking and blacklisting people from games, etc.), and with this hack and the ability of getting users banned indirectly and even unbanning themselves, PSN is pretty much compromised unless Sony actually figure something out.

So, to rephrase: The PS3 is not a PC when it comes to how the online gaming network runs.
