Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment worldwide studios, believes that the NGP has no clear competitor, including the 3DS. In Yoshida’s mind, Nintendo’s portable “feels like an update of the DS”. Remember when he said that it would be great to work with Nintendo to promote 3D? Yeah, I don’t think that’ll be happening. I doubt Satoru Iwata will appreciate someone calling his new system an “updated 3DS”.

Well, at least Yoshida said that they have a common enemy: cheap mobile games.

You can read Yoshida’s comments on the 3DS and cheap mobile games below.

“There’s no one clear competitor in terms of what NGP offers. NGP’s going to establish itself as the unique thing that people want to have. NGP cannot be placed against smartphones. You can’t make phone calls on it and it’s too big to fit into your pocket. Compared to 3DS, it was very interesting – when we were designing the NGP we had no idea what Nintendo was going to do. Aside from the 3D stereoscopic display, they seem to be keeping the same theme that they had with the DS – it feels like an update of the DS to me. Lots of choices we made were so different from their choices. It’s kind of hard to compare the two, aside from the fact that both of them are dedicated gaming platforms. We are dealing with the same issue that Nintendo is. It’s up to content publishers, including ourselves, to show people that this is worth £25 or £30 as opposed to 59p. You cannot release the same content that you put on the iPhone for a dollar on to NGP or some other consoles and expect people to pay 20 times that.”
