Sony responds to Greenberg's statment#1

PS3 hardware’s performing strongly then, but how do you feel first party PS3 software’s doing? Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg suggested yesterday that Halo 3 has outsold a large number of PS3 games – including the Uncharted and Resistance franchises - combined, based on NPD figures.

Well I’m really happy with them because as I said, we’re selling more than we ever have done before. Secondly, I’m not too fussed about the competitive bits or people’s comments because at the end of the day, I’ve only got my focus, and that is giving consumers a great experience and great content and I don’t care what anybody else does. If we are doing that and if we are measured by the enjoyment and the engagement that we have with our consumers and we can have a successful business then that’s what it will be. Our DNA is about innovation and giving people technology that they didn’t even realise they needed at the time and about pushing the envelope.

FABULOUS RESPONSE SONY!
Very mature!


Seriously Sony WTF stop stealing Nintendo's strategy. This sounds almost identical to Nintendo's statements released when Sony was calling the Wii a gimmicl. I mean honestly innovative and giving people new technology. If he's refering to the Wiimot.... I mean Move then I can't help but laugh at his arrogance.

Sony has in the past been very immature in regards to the Wii I remember Sony execs going all out calling it a gimmick and talking trash. During that occasion Microsoft was more mature and so was Nintendo but Sony was a little whinning baby.I remember the PSP announcement and how degrading and insulting it was to the GameBoy:Advance. Sony execs actually called the GameBoy crap I remember hearing it in the post E3 round tables and interviews. Sony was very arrogant saying the age of crap was coming to an end and Sony was revolutionalizing the handheld industry. They were so confident they through tons of insults Nintendo's way.

I'm not meaning to trash Sony but they seem to always act arrogant and insult the competition. I mean just look at the Move ads. Kevin Butler makes the Wiimote sound and look like crap in the trailer where he whips his hands up and down. Fact is Sony has never been mature in the past and this one comment just seems like a stolen strategy.

I can gaurantee if Sony's software sold as well as Microsoft or Nintendo's that they would be doing the exact same thing Microsoft is. Sony always bragged during the PS2 era they bragged about the PS3/PSP at E3 when they were first unvieled.

So Sony eat your humble pie and shut your smack talking mouth. Yes this one statement was very mature but in all in all Sony has been a smack talking childish company. The only reason their being so mature today is because they can't do anything but be mature everyone would just laugh at them if they bragged about PS3 or PSP!


Yes, Sony is stealing the strategy of "Not sounding like an ass."

Yah, because Sony almost always sounds like an Ass. Just listen to the E3 2006 conferance or Sony's other conferances like the unvieling of PSP. Its not like Sony to act mature so they are taking a note from Nintendo and acting like mature adults for once.

I hate to say it but Sony is definatly influenced by Nintendo in this statement they issued just look at the text. "Our DNA is about innovation and giving people technology that they didn’t even realise they needed at the time and about pushing the envelope." What technology are they providing people that pushes the envelope, what innovation exactly? Sony is mimicking Nintendo in almost every part of this statement. Take a look at Reggie, Miyamoto and Iwata's responses after E3 2006. You could take multiple Nintendo statements and put them alongside this one and you'd never be able to guess which ones were made by Iwata and which ones are Sony.

It's way to similiar to Nintendo's responses.

While I applaud them (to some extent) for the improvement, I kind of feel like we are giving them (Sony) credit for something they, and all games companies for that matter, should already be doing. 

I mean shouldn't representatives of multi-billion dollar companies present any statements, rebuttals or reports regarding their business and business performance, in a professional manner?  I'm not saying this to get flamed I just wonder if we would ever have a thread about Toyota's 'mature' statement regarding their business performance.  It just troubles me that in many areas the games industry as a whole seems to hold itself to lower standards than many other industries.

I'm with you on that! It's like after the bully gets his ass kicked. Now all of a sudden he tries to play nice and makes friends. I would respect Sony more if they stayed true to who they are.

"Our DNA is about iteration and giving people technology that they didn’t even realise they needed at the time and about pushing the (cost) envelope."

Is about right to sum up Sony this generation.

Then maybe you should actually read THIS thread. No one here is talking about what Sony USED to do. I know they used to be a little stuck up like Aaron Greenburg. But we are talking about Sony NOW. They are actually being civil rather than turning into 2 year olds. and get the everyone's copying Nintendo thing off your back it's just stupid.

I don't think everyones copying Nintendo, I think Sony is copying Nintendo. I don't say Microsoft, Apple are copying Nintendo. Not everyone copies Nintendo and by Aaron Greenburg's recent statements they aren't copying Nintendo's diplomatic way of saying things either.

Yes this thread is about the one statement a Sony exec makes and not what almost every other Sony exec has said within the last 4-5 years. Its about how a Sony exec says one mature statement and he deserves praise for being brave enough to be mature at Sony.

Lets talk Sony right now, how about Kevin Butlers Move ad in which he clearly insults Nintendo's motion controls. That is online and on TV right now. How mature are those ads? Yes I know ActivisionBlizzard is insulting MarioKart in their Blur ads as well. But just because one company has to resort to immaturity doesn't mean Sony has the right to follow suit.

How mature is Kevin Butlers Move ads? That is Sony right now.
