There's a lot of rumours knocking around about a potential PlayStation 3 game based on The X-Factor. Apparently, Simon Cowell and Sony chief executive Howard Stringer have had a meeting about it! In an interview with men's magazine GQ, Cowell expressed an interest in branching out into gaming. "I should have had 20 games," he said. "If you've got a game that's worth more than our shows and we're in 100 countries, something is a bit out of control."
He added: "X-Factor should have been the initial vehicle to have Activision come to us and say: 'You've got all the traffic. Can you help launch Guitar Hero? I'd put guitars on my show to get Guitar Hero."
According to Cowell's new business partner Philip Green, the pair has met with Sony CEO Howard Stringer to discuss the venture.
"I said [to Sony]: 'Look at what we can do together. You've got massive manufacturing capability. You've got retail business. You've got PlayStation. You're one of the biggest TV suppliers in the world. He [Simon Cowell] is one of the most watched men on TV. Suddenly, people started to say, 'You're right'," said Green.
It makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it? I'm actually quite staggered that there hasn't been one already!
