Kojima wants a "PS3 with controls like the Wii"

By Ross Miller

Speaking to Japanese magazine Ge-Maga, who also published some discouraging statistics, Metal Gear veteran Hideo Kojima and Final Fantasy guru Tetsuya Nomura have both called the PlayStation 3 the best console for the future, echoing similar sentiments from Sony President Howard Stringer.

Kojima, while a staunch supporter of goofy analogies the PlayStation 3, did consider its lack of rumble unfortunate, and questions why the company could not at least give the player an option to switch between using motion sensor and rumble features. In Kojima's words, "the best thing would be a PS3 with controls like the Wii."

Kojima has been a big fan of Wii's controls but criticizes its lack of horse power — "in terms of functions, it's a machine with past concepts." We admit, the idea of a WiiStation is indeed quite nice, we will probably have to wait a generation for Kojima's dream to materialize.
