14 DAY TRIAL // Jack Tretton, the president of Sony of America, says that there’s no way of bringing such a complex experience as Gran Turismo 6 to a smartphone or a tablet in the near future.
The executive believes that at the same time players are able to enjoy Angry Birds on mobile devices but they can also use the PlayStation 3 to enjoy the same experience if they want to.
The executive tells AllThingsD that, “It’s easier to migrate up. I’ve seen some great videos on YouTube, but I don’t confuse them with Hollywood Oscar-winning hits. That’s why you go to the movie theater, even though there’s something to be said for watching something on your smartphone.”
Many analysts believe that the coming console generation, made up of the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, will be rendered obsolescent by the increases in processing power linked to mobile devices and by the increased open nature of the PC.
