Sony’s Kaz Hirai Thinks PlayStation Suite Could Boost Google TV Popularity, Calls it ‘Killer App’

5

The quotable Kaz Hirai is back in the news, and, no, it isn’t because of an overhyped unveiling of some new PSP shwag. [Ridge racer, anyone?] This time Kaz is focused on the PlayStation Suite for Android, and even though he insists the focus of the new gaming endeavor is on phones and then tablets, he is quick to point to another Android platform that could see big benefits from Sony’s latest PlayStation push: Google TV.

Hirai states that Sony “might provide the PSS as a killer application to spread the use of the Google TV.” A statement that makes us beam with delight not only because the man himself said it, but because we agree whole-heartedly that an advanced gaming platform could bring an almost console-like experience to the slow-starting television service. So I’m a sucker for Google TV (and did I mention Kaz, too?)…sue me.

  1. I still think OnLive needs to launch a Google TV app. What better way to launch a complete onslaught on consoles than by making a Google TV app?

  2. They need to bring out the market first. Let us have the market!

  3. who cares what kaz says? he’s just the international version of steve jobs. both have big mouths and don’t know how to shut them. i still don’t know why sony still employs kaz, as much trouble as he’s caused.

  5. This will take the devices like the Revue from great to beyond awesome. I’m excited to see that more and more companies are embracing the Google TV platform in ways beyond originally designed, like Sony. As a DISH Network customer/employee I can’t begin to tell you how amazing the advanced integration is between my DISH DVR and the entire web. And it lets me effortlessly follow @charliesheen, which adds a ton of entertainment value during the commercial breaks. I truly believe this is the future of TV.
