According to Sony's general manager of Australia and New Zealand.

Sony's general manager of New Zealand and Australia recently caught up with The Sydney Morning Herald, and quickly drew up a comparison between the PS3 and Nintendo Wii.

"The Wii-type functionality is just a sub-element of what the PlayStation 3 offers," he claimed.

He then went to further elaborate this by saying: "Wii is a core gaming device. It's a more fun, intuitive sort of product to pick up, where the PS3 is a broader entertainment solution; so you can have your fun, enjoyable gaming ... but then you have a whole suite of other applications ... such as Blu-ray media playback, the ability to access your music, access your photos and the interoperability with the PSP"

However, one could argue that the Photo Channel in the Wii Channels interface adds a different dimension to the Wii. A dimension that is not 'purely' gaming.
