Forums - Sony Discussion - Jack Tretton Takes Aim at Natal.

donsterydo2 on 20 March 2010

Their actions nad statements only confirm that they fear Natal. If it wasn't for that they wouldn't take their time and money to do what they do now.

Auch... now that was harsh Meh, people are focusing way to much on this motion control war, while, I bet, that the real important stuff, like quality games, are pushed back because of this at many dev teams

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in N America thats been on the shelves for more than 15 minutes I'll give you 1200 bucks for it" - this was so wrong it was sad.

"If you look at the adoption rate of the DS over the first 17 months, not only does it trail the PSP but it also trails their other platforms ... They're potentially losing some of their core audience and they're not really expanding beyond that." - oh dear.

“We are in the first 25 per cent to 30 per cent of this generation. I would say we're sitting in the catbird seat. And if you like what you see right and if you thought last year was the year of the PlayStation, I hope that in 2015 somebody is going to be saying, ‘This is the Year of the PlayStation 3.’ - Jan 2010. - staggering arrogance or stupidity - I'm not sure.

You know he HAS to say stuff like that. How well would sony stock do if he came out and said.

 

"Well, you know what? We are getting our asses kicked."

 

Not well I imagine.

you mean he HAS to lie? 

the 1st one was a lie.

the 2nd one was idiotic.

the 3rd one is wishful thinking off this planet.

Lets see you run a company worth as much money as all that he is in charge of.

I do run a company... and it made more profit that Sony did last year. 

And I am godzilla.

I think he means he doesn't believe you. Do you have any views on the proposition that Natal is a merely a natural evolution of the Eyetoy in the same way the PS Move is a natural evolution to the Wii remote?

I mean, he just ignored how much money sony is worth. Which is what I said, not how much profit they made. And I am still godzilla.



heywoodjablome on 20 March 2010

ill wait and see when natal comes out what it really can do...but as for now it just seems like a step up from the eye toy which isn't exactly that popular anyway. I believe there's a good reason that nintendo and sony stayed away from advancing this type of motion technology

“I think it is a big idea, if you really want to get involved with playing with a camera, I suggest you go out and buy a $99 PlayStation 2 and play some of the great technology that we invented 8 years ago.”

By this same logic shouldn't people buy a wii instead of move? Nintendo has great technology that was invented 5 years ago.

Tretton showing some balls! Bout time Sony finally grew some, instead of listening to Greenburg running his mouth day in and out.
