Still, Tretton says he's excited to face the challenges of being one of the company's three pillars (along with mobile and digital imaging) - especially since he remembers the days when the PlayStation was far from the company's favorite child. "I think it's the best news I could ever hear," he says. "When I joined Sony Computer Entertainment, I'd meet people from other Sony divisions. I'd be at an industry event and they'd read my name badge and say 'Sony Computer Entertainment? What the hell is that? I work for Sony music.' Sony Computer Entertainment was very much an offshoot and not an intimately familiar division of Sony. … To go from there, where you're a science experiment, for lack of a better word, to one of the three major pillars of the corporation is great." "There's a place for social and freemium, but it's not going to replace the business models that are out there" Jack Tretton |
This bolded line is concerning, even with having a company the size of Sony, there should not be such a disconnect amongst the divisions. The company now more than ever, really needs to make each of the divisions work together more effectively as a whole. That seems to be one of its biggest problems.
Anyway it will be interesting to see if Sony will do everything it can to make the Vita a success like they did for the PS3 this generation.
