Did you ask him about Team ICO too?

Everyone seems to have done so, so far.

It does seem a bit crazy that there aren’t more third party games out there for the PSP. There is the argument that Sony seem to have missed the point on what hand held gaming is about when making the device, I think there is the counter that third parties may have missed the point too, and need to develop games which suit the device and the fact it is mobile.

There are a phenomenal number of machines out there as a userbase.

Very truthful.

This guy is the least PR shitfilled person in the industry. I am sure he’ll learn to become a crack in time.

IGN: Do you look to the Wii as an inspiration at all?

Shuhei Yoshida: Absolutely. They are bringing in people that have never played games before, who never have tried picking up a controller. After they’ve played a Wii and played some of the games, some of those consumers might try something else. I’m really interested to try and convince those consumers to stay with us.

Very humble, considering the PS2 introduced this element.
