Sony Online President talks of PSP-PS3 compatability

Yesterday at the Games & Mobile Forum, John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment, gave a keynote address that included a look at possible interaction and character inter-operability between the PSP and the forthcoming PS3 console.

"Smedley then described a future where you could play an online game via your PSP, PS3, PC, and cell phone where you would be able to play the same game utilizing the same character on all platforms. The graphics and experience may be slightly different – for example, you would only be able to perform inventory management of your character on the cell phone version of the game while the PSP, PS3, and PC versions would play the same but have different graphic engines."

Smedley also commented that such gameplay could be expected within the next six months.
