Why is this a shock to some of you?

Harrison seems gotten his feet back on the ground and is just being sensible. Just because he's from Sony's domain doesn't mean he cant praise or acknowledge the competition.

You guys really deserve a facepalm.jpeg.

 Nintendo also had casuals before the Playstation *shock*

i see something coming in the future:"the playstation wii" it will come!!!

 Absolutely not, Sony gaming has never been that 'casual'. Sure, it's more casual than xbox but if anyone SHOULD take the bigger role into exploring casual gaming, it's Nintendo. (and possibly Sega)

Nintendo has more recognizable charactes than any company out there. With Pokemon, Mario and Donkey Kong under its built, Going casual with Wii is the eventuality.

Also, instead of WHINNING about how their Japanese counterpart didn't do much, What was Phil doing for PSeye?? Where's the Yu-gi-oh series for it? Where are other major games that uses it? DO YOUR JOB FIRST Phil, you aren't some lower-level employee who has no saying in the direction of the company. 

I really don't like Wii Sports

That said, it is the game that got people interested in the Wii. It's basically the game that sold a console, and I can't hate on that. It does showcase the Wii-remote in all of it's glory, and it does a good job of showing what the Wii will do. Nintendo has done a good job with this game, and Phil is just respecting their game. Nothing more than that.

I agree with DMeister,I don´t like Wii Sports either,but give credit where it´s due.

I actually love Wii Sports, I use it some times in the morning as a wake up work out. I used to do it more before (now just stick to regular work out exercises), but its still great nevertheless. Which is why I cant wait for the real deal "Wiifit".

Phil has always been my favorite Sony exec. He's one of my favorite execs of any company.

I'm surprised that so many higher ups have said it's the true next gen. A year ago we wouldn't have seen that at all. A year ago it was talking about how it's two gamecubes duct taped together and Live and Cell are the true next gen. I guess execs can even show a little humility and know when they are getting their asses handed to them, and admit that there is a reason for it outside of silly PR spins. The wii is showing the future of game evolution, socially, and technologically.

Kudos to Harrison for being honest and acting like a man and a pro.
