In a question and answer sesssion:

Q: Sales of the much-anticipated PS3 have disappointed since the system was released. Many critics say the system, wich starts at 399, is to expensive. What happened?

Stringer: The pace of sales is no slower than the pace (of PlayStation 2). We are on track to make our 11 million target (by march). The price is expensive but it comes down $100 every year.

Later on...

Q: In addition to OLED TVs, Sony sells many LCD TVs. LCDs are far outselling plasma and rear-projection sets. What's happening?

Stringer: The people who make plasmas made a fundamental error in dropping prices too fast.

So what do you guys think? Is he spelling PS3's doom?

On a side note apperantly Stringer lives in an apartment. I found that interesting as he is CEO of SONY!

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
