Kaz Talks Monster Hunter 3, PS3 Backwards Compatibility

In a new interview with Sony Computer Entertainment's Kaz Hirai, he talks about losing Monster Hunter 3 and about PLAYSTATION 3 backwards compatibility.

He explains that the 40GB PLAYSTATION 3 model was not shown at TGS 2007 because it was more important to showcase their software lineup.

He explains that removing the PLAYSTATION 3's backwards compatibility for newer models wasn't hard because it was only one of many features for the PLAYSTATION 3. Playing actual games, downloading them, and such are more important in his mind. Removing the backwards compatibility made them able to lower the price.

On Monster Hunter 3, Hirai states that it's up to the game companies basically and he has no control over it.

On the PLAYSTATION Home delay, he stated it was "a possitive effect". He was not satisfied with what HOME is right now and they wanted to make sure it was to their hearts content.
