Koller: iPad is a “net positive” for Sony

It seems Nintendo president Satoru Iwata isn’t the only one unconcerned by the Apple iPad. Sony’s John Koller is also not threatened by the device’s gaming capabilities. In fact, he thinks it’ll just drive people to buy PSPs.

It seems Nintendo president Satoru Iwata isn’t the only one unconcerned by the Apple iPad. Sony’s John Koller is also not threatened by the device’s gaming capabilities. In fact, he thinks it’ll just drive people to buy PSPs.

In a recent interview, SCEA’s Director of Hardware and Marketing told the Wall Street Journal that Apple’s wireless tablet computer will only serve as an entry point for people who want to move on to a dedicated gaming device.

“Apple’s entrance into the portable gaming space has been a net positive for Sony,” Koller said. “When people want a deeper, richer console, they start playing on a PSP.”
