SOE bullish on MMOs for the Playstation 3

In an interview with the Seattle Times, John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment has stated that MMOs for the PS3 will be a strong feature for the system's longevity. "I think MMOs are going to be a real strong selling point for the PS3 long term - there's going to be some great ones on the PS3."

While it's obviously too early to say what those titles might be, Smedley does mention the upcoming title The Agency, by saying that "[SOE is] trying not to distract them." We like the idea of the Agency team as having diffuse enough focus that something shiny might keep them from hitting their development milestones. Whether or not Smedley's right about MMOs being good for the PS3 remains to be seen. Perhaps he ought to check out our earlier post on the topic.
