According to PlayStation marketing executive John Koller, there’s still quite a bit of life left in the PS3 yet…
Here’s what he said while speaking to GameSpot:
On how much life is left in the PS3:
“We believe that the platform has a lot of life left in it. Two, three, four years; we think there’s time left in the platform. It depends on the content. We have a good lineup this year and it looks like a good lineup next year. We need to keep fueling that. We really have to keep PS3 alive. And so to do that, we have to further the content. I think there will be a good story for the PS3 over the next year to two years.”
During the same interview, Koller acknowledged that the PS4 has an early lead over the Xbox One, but said that there’s still a lot of work to do:
On PlayStation 4′s early lead over Xbox One:
“I’m very excited for where PS4′s going to go. People gave us the upper hand early and we want to continue to reward them with all the different content and engagement that we have.
“Our every day is ensuring that we don’t lose sight of the fact that we need to constantly have a socially engaging platform that allows people to connect [and] share; and the games that are created need to facilitate that. We need to have the right games at the right time…and listen to our fans. So continually doing that, I think brings a lot of good will. We are viewed the most authentic brand, so we have a leg up there but we’ve got a lot of work to do to make sure that when we’re going into work with a publisher or when we’re going into work with our own first-party team, we say: here’s the emotion we want to bring and here’s the engagement [we want]…what can we do?”
