Father of Final Fantasy doesn't like Father of PlayStation

No sooner has Ken Kutaragi, the Father of PlayStation, left the Sony building, Hironobu Sakaguchi, the Father of Final Fantasy was having a go at him.

In the latest issue of EGM magazine, Hironobu Sakaguchi mentioned that the reason why there's is no PS3 titles planned is because "The machine's architecture is tricky, and I don't like Ken Kutaragi." Interrupt any way you want. But it sounds pretty clear to me, unless, of course, if it's been lost in translation.

He also has a stab at all the other platforms. For the Wii, he said, "The system is intriguing, but right now, I have no plans on making a game for the Wii."

And the XBox 360, "Microsoft has to change its marketing strategy in Japan. There are a lot of excellent games on the 360, far better games than what's on the Wii or PS3. But not a lot of people in Japan have a clear idea what games like Gears of War are all about. Just look at the Windows Vista commercial -- it's terrible."
