SOE President John Smedley has told MCV that PS3 is the 'perfect platform' for developing MMOs on a console.
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Smedley said:
"Probably the biggest thing we can bring to the table is just the experience of having operated an online gaming service for many years. "We're happy to roll up our sleeves and offer assistance anywhere we are needed. We love making online games and we think PS3 is the perfect platform for doing that."

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Sounds promising that we will see many MMOs coming from them soon.
Soon? Please, 2 to 3 years, tops. That's a whole lot of downtime and aging on our parts. Will gaming be viable to you all then? To me? I'm sure it will but I don't think it's going to be at the MMO level no more. Right now, yea I could jump into an mmo since I've got surgery coming up and can't use my hands for actual work but in 3 years, I'm going to be doing good to even game regularly.
Like MonsterHunter
Then i'll be happy ^^
Grinding MMOs will be the death of me!
