Cage: Gamers are planning to buy a PS3 because of Heavy Rain

Quantic Dream’s David Cage has expressed his delight over the reaction to Heavy Rain across the web, observing that many gamers have commented on forums that the hotly anticipated thriller has convinced them to invest in a PlayStation 3.

Speaking to the chaps at IGN, Cage commented, “This experience should be available exclusively on PlayStation 3, and we want people to buy a PlayStation 3 because of Heavy Rain.”

“We’re really happy at the moment – and I hope it’s going to last – that when we go onto forums we find people watching the trailers and stuff and saying ‘this is the game that’s going to make me buy a PlayStation 3′.”

Heavy Rain is scheduled for release exclusively on PS3 in early 2010. We’ll have more on the game as it breaks.
