[quote]Dean Takahashi sat down with Sony CEO Kaz Hirai at E3 and put up an interview over at the Mercury News. In what seems to be an escalating war of words between Microsoft and Sony -- Hirai's comments are from E3, rather than the ex post facto fallout we've seen of late.

Hirai, responding to Microsoft's Live Anywhere, indicates that (like Sony showed with the PSP functioning as a rear-view mirror) Sony's PSP and PS3 will utilize connectivity.

When asked about development costs for the PS3 software makers, Hirai defends the PS3's design choices: "This console is going to do much more. We have made sure this is a console for the long haul. If you look at the lack of Blu-ray on Microsoft, what do you do if the game requires 40 to 50 gigabytes? Put it on three disks?"

Again, Hirai's comments spawn more questions than they answer. Will multiplatform Blu-Ray games have to be confined to the disc space of the Xbox 360's format? Or in Sony's vision of the future, will multiplatform games come on multiple discs for the 360? If they do come on multiple discs for 360 users is that a problem? Was it really that inconvienent to swap discs in Final Fantasy 7 or Metal Gear Solid?
