Sony president Kaz Hirai was recently interviewed by the CES trade publication Blu-ray Today, and he commented on the future of the format and PlayStation 3. Most interesting of all, the leader defended the power of Sony's recently released next generation videogame console, whose first wave games have not yet proven the true graphic capability of the system.

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.
Resistance not being possible on any other system. If the 360 can handle Gears of War then im quite sure it will have no problem with Resistance. It may be due to compression maybe?
One thing for sure is we can all agree that this guy is better than Kenny.
"I have heard many people say our competitors' systems are just as powerful as the PS3. That simply is not true," said Hirai. "No other next generation entertainment system pushes the envelope on advanced technology like PS3.
"I have heard people say that a high-capacity game delivery vehicle like Blu-ray isn't necessary in a next generation computer entertainment system. You just can't expect that 9GBs of storage capacity found on today's DVDs are going to have enough space to hold tomorrow's games."
LOL. So, there you have it, "tomorrow's games", that's what Sony's is all about. Why do 360 games look better? Cause the PS3 sucks today and will be good tomorrow. Right...
If both sides just shut up and prove it and the PS3 drops by at least 150 I will be satisfied. I can afford the PS3 now but I am just not stupid. After barely ever playing my PS2 after the first year they have alot to prove to win me over. Secondly this generation is about more than disc space and movies to me, I want the whole package and as of now the PS3 is lacking. I do not doubt them at all, and from the looks of it by the time they get my money they will have worked out many of the kinks that just plain sukk @ss (ie their online strategy)
wow, Kaz went balls to the walls with this interview
...we didn't try to shove an unnecessary format down the consumer's throats, and then be content to watch it fail miserably. :o
