PlayStation 3 continues to evolve. Phil Harrison, President, Worldwide Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment, discussed how the platform would evolve, if the PlayStation Network can catch up with Microsoft's Xbox Live and reminded us that Sony is in the videogame industry to make money.

"For me, it was watching people line up on the street just waiting to buy a PlayStation 3; it really brought home three years of work."

"I thought, 'What actually matters is that people are standing out there with money in their pockets with a sense of excitement.' Knowing that scene was being replicated in cities all across the country makes it very real".

On one level, any launch game deserves accolade because working on the bleeding edge of a new system takes guts and determination from the developer. We also saw original games, such as Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man, ship on day one with industry-leading features. That deserves a lot of credit. As of today, all of the games available for the PS3 show what the system is capable of with tremendous promise.

"It doesn't concern me. This isn't a sprint or a three-month race - this is a ten-year marathon. And I know that we have the technology and the architecture to make the PS3 last more than ten years as a software format. We have future-proof technologies that will allow game designers to do amazing things with the system. So I have no concerns at all about what we'll deliver later this year, next year, and for the next eight years".
