1. Sony "has made a very expensive product built on the promise of Blu-ray," he said. "That hasn't worked out for them. Blu-ray is clearly not the next DVD."

And while Greenberg acknowledges the Wii's successes, he doesn't seem Nintendo's console as a threat to the Xbox 360.

"We see a lot of data that households are buying the wii60," he said. "But at the end of the day Xbox is where they spend the bulk of time. They want entertainment, Netflix, movies, games."

2. "We think those consumers (Wii owners) will want to upgrade."

1.  Right there that's the problem for Sony.  The games on 360 and PS3 are 90% identical.  If you are just interested in games and will only buy one of those consoles then probability is you will go for the one that cost so much less.  If you are interested in Blu Ray then it becomes a harder choice.

2.  He makes a good point about PS3 but then has to spoil it with his stupid stereotypical view that Wiis all over the world are sitting idle, gathering dust.
