PS3 can be a family console, not 360, says Ubisoft producer

An interview on Casualgaming.biz shows that the executive producer of Ubisoft's Games For Everyone range, Pauline Jacquey, sees good potential for the PS3 to become a "family console". By the end of the PS2's life cycle, it has moved from being a hardcore gaming console into a more casual gaming-friendly device; the popularity of games like Singstar leads Jacquey to believe the PS3 will eventually pull off the same feat. She warns that, however, "the shape of the market is not the same when PS2 became mass market." Jacquey further states that she doesn't see the same potential in the Xbox 360, but this will be ultimately determined by the software lineup of each respective console. Rumors of new peripherals like a motion sensing controller and board shows that developers sees the same possibilities in the PS3, so we feel Jacquey's prediction is right on the money.
