Sony: PS3's the only global platform HD(fixed) wii cannot be included

Wednesday 23-Jul-2008 3:07 PM PS3 offers a global market the 360 can't, says Sony's Peter Dille

Sony marketing guru Peter Dille says that developers looking for a global market for their games will look to the PS3 over 360 thanks to the console's domination in the Japanese and European regions.

"Games are very expensive to make, developers know they have to amortize that investment over a global marketplace and the best place to do that is on a PlayStation format," said Dille, speaking of Sony's take on platform exclusives.

"If you look at the global footprint," Dille went on to reason, "PlayStation 3 dominates in Japan where the 360 is really irrelevant. In Europe, the PlayStation 3 is already past the 360. And in the United States you have a dogfight.

"So back to the third-party community, they're looking at what's going on, they're realigning their development resources to exploit PS3 and I think they understand that if they want to have a global return on their investment, PlayStation 3 is the only place they're going to get it." Dille told MTV.

What a load of bull. DS sold more software in 2007 then all other platforms, including PS2 and PC according to reports issued by groups like DFC & IDC. PS3, 360, Wii, PSP all trail by far in comparison.

But their still in third place or last place so other consoles at this point are still very lucrative to developers. Wii has the high install base the the 360 has the high attach rate.

 Unless you look at the Wii of course. I don't know how they can claim to dominate in Japan, or even be close to a dog fight with even the 360 in America. What a bunch of PR nonsense.

IMO he means HD games ... true he says Sony platforms , but the comparison with the 360 makes it sound more like he is talking about HD consoles ...
