Im less in the camp that the executives of the console manufacturers are arrogant, I feel that the statements they make are more a product of their being insular and hanging out too much with people whom think the same way they do, laugh at the same jokes, play the same games etc. I feel that this article proves that he is no exception to this effect and is very much in the 'Sony camp' so to speak.
Unfortunately this means that he appears to lack perspective about how people from our perspective may see things. Which means of course every single Sony game is the best game out there and every product Sony produces is the best product out their even when reality is starkly different. It takes a pretty insular individual to discount the Wiimote and Nintendos ability to execute on the game design and ignore the difference in hype between the Sony wand and Natal which as he is in charge of marketing is most disenheartening for me.
One other thing I pulled from the article is that the Playstation 3 is really just riding the coat-tails of the Playstation 2's success. I don't particularly believe that Sony have yet outperformed the other console manufacturers this generation except in their willingness to write big cheques to pay back for their belief that consumers were willing to pay more for high technology. I understand how success blinds the successful, but whats his excuse?
