In an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, has discussed the firm's future plans for the PlayStation family and its delight with this year's successes.

One of the key players in Sony's plans for the videogames market, Harrison is uniquely placed to comment on the status of the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation Portable and the progress towards the launch of PlayStation 3.

In today's interview, which you can read in full here on GamesIndustry.biz, he discusses everything from the firm's sales ambitions for its existing platform to his thinking on next-generation topics such as online gaming and high-definition.

Harrison paints a picture of a company untroubled by the early arrival of its key rival in the next generation, the Xbox 360, telling us that "I think we've already made it - I don't think there's any risk of it being broken" in response to a question about whether 2006 is a make-or-break year for the PlayStation.
