In a yet to be aired interview with the American PBS program CEO Exchange, Sony boss, Sir Howard Stringer is noted to have called Nintendo's Wii console "a wonderful device." Nintendo's Wii has topped the console sales for both January and February in the United States. Honesty exists in the games industry, but it is rare, and is always followed with some form of a "but..".
Naturally, Stringer sang praises for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) console, referring to it as the "Mercedes of the video game field". "If we fail, it is because we positioned PS3 as the Mercedes of the video game field." he said in the interview. "PS3 is after a different audience and it can be whatever it wants — a home server, game device, even a computer."
He also expects Blu-ray to win the format war with HD DVD, mainly due to increased movie studio support.
