PS3 MMOs key to SOE - Smedley
Online boss sees online future for console
Sony Online Entertainment big wig John Smedley has been talking up the significance of new MMO titles forthcoming for the PlayStation 3 console. The exec says that console releases should make up more than half his firm's business in the future.
Chatting with GameDaily, veteran Smedley said that the 15 million users now embracing the PSN are ready for some MMO action.
"I think a lot of the people who play PS3 games right now aren't the same people playing MMOs right now. I think [our move to release PS3 MMOs is] going to bring in a lot of new players," the big cheese explained.
"There are certainly people who have consoles and PCs in their house. The difference is what they actively play. PS3 gamers are used to playing Resistance 2 instead of a shooter on the PC. I think we can bring this kind of gaming to this audience and I think it's going to be huge."
