Ninja Gaiden Causes PS3 To Smoke
In a recent interview with Gameinformer.com, Ninja Gaiden Sigma director, Yosuke Hayashi has stated amusingly that unlike DOA4’s Itagaki who managed to blow up a few Xbox 360’s whilst developing, he was only able to make the PlayStation 3 “smoke”.
“We’ve made a couple of devkits smoke, but we haven’t had any actually blow up yet [laughs]. As far as using the hardware to its fullest, there are a ton of examples, but it’s about approaching the process gradually. For instance, initially we didn’t think that we were going to be able to do as much as we have been able to, which is something good about the PS3, because we weren’t necessarily limited to what it says on paper.”
This sounds like great news for the PS3’s hardware. I have definitely always considered the PS3 system itself to be way past the 360. If they could only give all of us a price reduction on the unit and get some really awesome games on the shelf, they would be back in business. I really think taking an extreme loss on the units will be a must for Sony to compete.
