With third-party developers beginning to shy away from PlayStation 3 exclusive titles, Sony’s done the best thing it probably can to ensure its “super computer’s” powers are fully tapped by upcoming game releases.The company has appointed Ken Kutaragi as the part-time executive director of a new venture with Namco Bandai. Dubbed Cellius, the project is meant to create PS3 titles that will take full advantage of the console’s powers and give it an edge in the waging war with Nintendo and Microsoft.
The move comes only a few short weeks after Sony named him chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment.
With Kutaragi being considered the father of the PlayStation, the move could very well assure that must-have game titles begin to hit store shelves in the very near future.
As the popularity of the PS3 flounders, this move is very much needed to make the console stand out against its competition. While the high price of the PS3 certainly isn’t helping it, the fact there aren’t a whole lot of impressive games out for it yet is a real killer in the face of Microsoft exclusive titles like Halo and Lost Planet and Wii’s quirky party games.
As a PS3 owner, who happens to think Sony really screwed up with its handling of this console’s release, it is my sincere hope something turns around soon to really make this console shine.
