Yeah, but it's all the more funny when the you have facts that can back it up.

From Washington, D.C. to Foster City, California, the word of the day is, apparently, "relevant." An embattled President Bush used the R-word yesterday morning during a press conference to explain why he decided to veto a children's health insurance bill supported by both Republicans and Democrats. That's why it echoed in our minds during a conversation yesterday afternoon with Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton, wherein he used the word "relevant" ten times in just 12 minutes while referring to the similarly besieged Playstation 3 and its predecessor. Was this a confident recitation of the facts or merely a wishful talking point? We'll let you be the judge. But based on what our sources are telling us, if the PS3 had a power animal, the September sales gap between the Sony's flagship console and those of its two competitors would see the PS3 represented by a duck—one as lame as the current occupant of the Oval Office.

Nice link. Lots of tough questions there, some of which I'd ask myself if I were interviewing someone from Sony.

I'm reading the interview, and just saw the following quotes from Tretton. He doesn't fail to deliver, in the style we all love.

1- Well, I think we have long consternated over the issue of bringing tremendous technology to the consumer, something that's really going to be ahead of its time

So they DO know? Also:

consternate: to fill with consternation

consternation: amazement or dismay that hinders or throws into confusion

Great one Mr. Tretton!

2- We've got a price point that I think can finally attract the masses

3- People have to look at technology and hardware individually as opposed to saying a machine is a machine is a machine

By people you mean the masses refered to in the previous quote?

4- In terms of the realities of the market and the success of our platforms; the great software that we've been able to bring to it; most importantly, the consumer satisfaction and the consumer adoption-—we couldn't be happier

5- We have three very relevant platforms. Two consoles, which means that our overall sales are up significantly. This will be the biggest year that we've ever had. So in those terms I don't think we could be happier.
