Speaking in a Q&A issued by Sony to commemorate the PlayStation's 10th anniversary, Kazunori Yamauchi has said a few things that make the PlayStation 3 sound like something of a world changer.
"The PlayStation 3 is the first piece of hardware allowing photo-realistic computer graphics, and is the first game hardware that can perform calculations for physics simulation to the level of our satisfaction," said Yamauchi. "With a matrix of such elements, a new world of entertainment is about to unfold. This is the beginning of a world, different to that of what we have called "games" up to today."
So, the PlayStation 3 will bring a new world of entertainment which redefines what we call games. If it's is that good I might just have to get one (I was going to get one anyway, but that's not the point). And no, there's no way the president of Polyphony Digital is bending the truth to increase the hype surrounding the console. What kind of cheap trick would that be?
World changing or not, it's unlikely we're going to know for sure until sometime in 2006.
