I remember putting that in the car and my friend asking me what band it was from!

although he is easier to take than the buffoon Tretton or the new stock englishman House.


Whats wrong with Tretton ? He seems like a nice guy

Wait ... wasn't Phil a key component to the PS3's impressive start and dominance in Europe? Or was that too long ago to matter to the WHYDFML crowd?

The big question is "was he really integral, or just part of the process".

Sure his position was a key component, making sure everything is ready, everything is working...but I mean, dominance in Europe is a little exaggeratory. PS2 dominated in Europe, it's only logical that fans stuck with the brand, so it's really a question of how much of a key component was Phil?

Just to clarify, I'm not being that WHYDFML or anything, I'm just asking a question to your own rhetorical statement.

I acknowledge that Phil is a very good presenter, and is likely a strong businessman, but....they haven't had him for years, and Sony is doing better and better in Europe. Just look at those Vita numbers over there!



The copying saga continues....now they steal employees!

/sarcasm. I really don't care. lol.

He's a Sony guy, and so is House.


Sorry that is a poor excuse, Tretton is actually very dislikable guy. Also doesn't seem to make a great business man, because ps3 is very much distance 3rd in America.  Add on top that he has some of the worse PR statements ever. I can see why Kowenicki said that. 

Don't know much about House,

Great news. This should put a sudden end to all hopes that Microsoft may be able to dominate in Europe with their Xbox Doublespin.


^^^ ..... umm  huh ???

He comes off as a humble, but oft misquoted (or taken out of context), guy to me. Just watch his E3 apology for pete's sake! Probably a very likeably person in real life, but unfortunately the PR is a part of his job (and all the big guys have bad PR statements - Reggie, Don Mattrick etc.)


I don't think he comes off as humble, more like depressed half the time. Infact I would say he is very arragant regarding competitor, that isn't humble at all.

That's exactly what I thought of, I bet the creators of that song are feeling awkward now.

I'm guessing Tretton is the main host at E3?

Anyway, I like that guy, I think he is very humble too.
