Speaking in an interview with GI.biz, Peter Molyneux commented that the PS3 currently lacks a defining title. He suggests that the Wii and PS2 have such titles and that Fable 2 might be a defining title for the 360.
"It is always one or two games which define a platform - it's the same for the Wii, and the PlayStation 2," commented Molyneux. "I think the PlayStation 3 is still waiting for that definition title that represents the platform - and I think that's what hardware manufacturers need to do, find that defining title. Nintendo did a brilliant job of doing that at launch with games like Wii Sports and Wii Play - maybe Fable 2 is a defining title. But you are talking to the proud father of this game, so you can't ask me to be tremendously objective."
Molyneux added that LittleBigPlanet (under development by former Lionhead staffers) may be that representative title for the PS3. "I'm incredibly proud of what they've done, and it's just an amazing experience to see how their game has progressed," he said. "If we want to bring people in who haven't played games before, wherever they are in the world and whatever their cultural background, whatever their sex or age, then we've got to think out of the box and start creating stuff which fascinates those people. I think LittleBigPlanet could be one of those."
