Harrison on console war: This is a marathon

So, would you like to read about another Phil Harrison interview? No? Well, the last proved to be informative and quite entertaining. We guess another one wouldn’t hurt. And besides, he is sincerely touched by the warm appreciation people have been showing the PS3. As he said to online site GamePro in another interview,

It really brought home three years of work. I thought what actually matters is that people are standing out there with money in their pockets with a sense of excitement. Knowing that scene was being replicated in cities all across the country makes it very real.

Aside from being touched by the fans’ money welcome, Phil Harrison also tipped his hat off to game developers who were not intimidated by Sony‘s new system. He added that these developers, especially Insomniac with Resistance: Fall of Man, should be given honorable mentions as well.

Any launch game deserves accolade because working on the bleeding edge of a new system takes guts and determination from the developer. That deserves a lot of credit. As of today, all of the games available for the PS3 show what the system is capable of with tremendous promise.

Lastly, the president of Sony Studios Worldwide couldn’t help but throw some comments about the competition. He pointed that the PS3 sold out everywhere, after Sony overcame manufacturing issues. He even added that as of now, the PS3 has sold quickly than the PSOne or PS2.

This isn’t a sprint or a three-month race. This is a ten-year marathon. And I know that we have the technology and the architecture to make the PS3 last more than ten years as a software format. We have future-proof technologies that will allow game designers to do amazing things with the system.
