Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid) rather famously made a comparison between the PS3, Xbox360, and the Wii using a food analogy. Seems things have changed in a years time, and now Kojima has a different idea.
Now, the PlayStation 3 is like a movie theater for people who want to see this movie on the big screen with THX and 5.1 audio, even if they have to pay a high price. The Xbox 360 is DVD. Basically, you dont know what movie you want to see, so you go to the store and see if you can pick up a good one. The Wii is like a TV for when youre home and you dont know what you want to watch but you [want to] have that variety.
So I think the three platforms are really distinctive and they mostly dont overlap each other people who love movies watch TV all the time. We have to be very quick [with what were doing in terms of games]. We cant wait long to turn on TV, and also, the programs have to be in all varieties so everyone is satisifed, as opposed to the movie theaters, where everything has to be high spec. People want high emotions. You want to be touched watching it on the big screen. For DVD, or the 360, you need to have a lot of variety so when people stop by theyll pick up your product. Maybe in the future, youll see three DVDs for $10.
Kojima also had a very quick comment about the Wii in another recent article.
