På årets Tokyo Game Show lagde Hideo Kojima, manden bag Metal Gear Solid-serien, ikke skjul på at han tror på Sony og deres PlayStation 3. I traileren for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots er det tydeligt at Microsoft provokeres med snak om Cell-processoren og om nødvendigheden ved at have den med i "krig". Herefter løber der små demoer af Rubber Duck og Killzone 3 over skærmen, begge imponerende demonstrationer af PS3’erens kræfter.
Men Microsofts Peter Moore er ikke synderligt bekymret, i hvert fald ikke efter at have set traileren for MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots. Han sagde bl.a. forleden følgende til Gamesindustry:
"Cell processor or not, when I look at the technical specs, I don't see anything that concerns me overly from a performance point of view. Quite frankly, having the ability to move first in this space, I think, provides us with the opportunity for a huge advantage."
If we look at the capabilities of the Xbox 360 from a technical aspect, and we lay against it the capabilities from a technical aspect of the PS3, everybody that works at a technical level that I respect says... It's a wash."
Og han fortsætter:
"It really is. Both companies have incredibly powerful machines, and it will be about what the developers can do with them. Gamers are a very smart bunch, and gamers who still haven't seen a PS3 or seen one played, will make the determination. The English expression is, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. Having videos, having characters in videos... The fact that they feel the need to have Snake tell you that it's powerful, that could be seen as a sign of worry, or weakness, potentially."
