Konami's Kojima talks next-gen consoles
 

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has offered up his take on the next-gen consoles, comparing the big three to other forms of entertainment - namely cinema, DVD and TV.

In an interview with the US version of Official PlayStation Magazine, as reported on the Neogaf forums, Kojima began by stating: "To refresh your memory, last year I said the PlayStation 3 was a big meal that you have once a year, the 360 was a special meal that you have on weekends, and the Revolution - as it was called at the time - was your everyday meal.

"Last year, it was the same family changing meals according to the situation; that was my line on it."

But Kojima's opinions have changed since then: "Now, the PlayStation 3 is like a movie theater for people who want to see this movie on the big screen with THX and 5.1 audio, even if they have to pay a high price. The Xbox 360 is DVD. Basically, you don't know what movie you want to see, so you go to the store and see if you can pick up a good one.

"The Wii is like a TV for when you're home and you don't know what you want to watch but you [want to] have that variety."

All in all, Kojima reckons the three consoles are "really distinctive" and that "they mostly don't overlap each other" - just as people who love movies also watch TV, people who play PS3 games will also be up for the Wii.
