Like kids squabbling on the playground, Sony Computer Entertainment President, Phil Harrison, wants to meet Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, after school at the Game Developer's Conference in March. More...
Iwata was to give the "Platform Keynote" at the conference, but Sony apparently doesn't want Nintendo to steal the show. So a second "Platform Keynote" has been announced where Harrison will talk about the "Playstation 3: Beyond the Box".
"Focusing on the new creative, technical, and business opportunities provided by the arrival of PlayStation 3, the keynote will share Sony Computer Entertainment's innovative plans for the format and will provide a look at how new technology and new business models will help fuel the growth of the computer entertainment industry by attracting new consumers."
This is in contrast to Iwata's talk about "Disrupting Development":
"Developers know what drives the video game business. It is our work. We are the creators, the innovators, the entertainers. We understand that people who imagine things, even more than the people who engineer them, are the key to reaching players."
"As Nintendo has demonstrated with Nintendo DS, our goal is to expand the industry to new playersand to surprise existing players."
With any luck, they'll take it outside to settle it with their fists. NintendoRevolution.com will be there. With a video camera.
