Nintendo and Microsoft? Sure, they’re big names in the console gaming market, no doubt. But they aren’t Sony’s only competitors. Not by a long shot. The PlayStation 3 is competing against the entire entertainment space, according to outspoken company president Kaz Hirai:
I think that PS3, PS2 and PSP are all entertainment platforms so I feel that our competition is not Microsoft or Nintendo, but basically any form of entertainment that is competing for the consumers’ attention.
What a difference a year makes, Kaz. Last year, the PS3 was said to be nothing more than a game machine.
