Metal Gear Solid maven Hideo Kojima *hearts* analogies. Last year, Kojima said, "The PlayStation 3 was a big meal that you have once a year, the 360 was a special meal that you have on weekends, and the Revolution [the Wii] was your everyday meal." Well, he's back with another whopper:

The PlayStation 3 is like a movie theater for people who want to see this movie on the big screen with THX and 5.1 audio, even if they have to pay a high price. The Xbox 360 is DVD. Basically, you don't know what movie you want to see, so you go to the store and see if you can pick up a good one. The Wii is like a TV for when you're home and you don't know what you want to watch but you [want to] have that variety.

We can't wait long to turn on TV, and also, the programs have to be in all varieties so everyone is satisifed, as opposed to the movie theaters, where everything has to be high spec. People want high emotions. You want to be touched watching it on the big screen. For DVD, or the 360, you need to have a lot of variety so when people stop by they'll pick up your product.

So like, the 360 isn't even HD DVD, just regular DVD? Ouch. Check back next week when analogy-loving Kojima compares all the consoles to various house plants. Brian Ashcraft
