Michael Denny, European vice president at Sony Worldwide Studios, has stated his belief that the company’s upcoming PlayStation Move peripheral will prove a vital component in boosting PlayStation 3 sales.
When asked by the chaps at GI.biz as to whether or not he thought the new device would stimulate platform sales and appeal to existing users, Denny replied: “It’s going to do absolutely both of those things. If you’ve already got a PlayStation then it’s a great additive experience.”
“It can add to existing games, or existing franchises that people already know. We’ll bring new IPs, new experiences for it – but as I said before, the stage we’re at in the life cycle with PS3, it can help us broaden the audience now, as we’d expect to do at this time anyway.”
