Sony Corporation CEO Howard Stringer has said in an interview that he believes PlayStation 3 games are "infinitely more fun" than those on Nintendo's Wii.
That follows an upturn in the console's recent sales fortunes, and a better situation on like-for-like sales when compared to the Wii - although Nintendo has admitted it is unable to manufacture enough hardware units to meet demand.
But Stringer told the Guardian: "We've some catching up to do, but at least we have the opportunity to connect the PS3 with the PlayStation Portable and beyond."
"I'm happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware," Stringer went on to say. "The PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting."
And looking to the future, he admitted to feeling more confident. "I'm glad that the last few weeks have generated excitement about PlayStation 3," he said. "Everyone's stopped talking about it the way they were six months ago."
Sales of the PS3 in the US tripled after Thanksgiving, and are still performing much better into the Christmas period than before the price cut.
