Eurogamer: Sony's Andrew House E3 2010 Interview

Andrew House is enjoying E3 this year. Not least, he told us, because he hasn't had to organise Sony's conference - a responsibility he previously held for 10 years. But that was before House became president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Now he doesn't have to worry about things like guest lists, pre-conference leaks and whether someone's going to do a Riiiiidge Racer.

So does House think his successor did a good job of sorting Sony's 2010 conference? What about the no-shows, like The Last Guardian and the rumoured new PSP? What exactly is going on with PlayStation Plus and cross-game chat? Read on for answers to all these questions. All right, answers to a small min: ority of these questions, and a lot of "We're not talking about that today" nonsense, but you know.

Excerpts

Eurogamer: I told a top secret source I was interviewing you today, and they suggested I ask you if the new PSP will have two screens.

Andrew House: Number one, I don't know of a new PSP. Clearly we're focused very much right now on the current generation of PSP. We just launched two significant initiatives that we think really improve the value proposition. The launch of PSP essentials - great content, well-vetted, well-played, good-selling games at £9.99 - really helps us broaden out even further to a mass market.

Eurogamer: My source said I should also ask you whether the new PSP will have 3G and email functionality.

Andrew House: I have no idea about the new PSP right now.

lol, another graduate from the Paxman style of interviewing.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

What actually happened at Sony's E3? I missed it because of work.

I haven't seen many people mention much on this site which would mean it wasn't very good.



Basically, in Sony's they played it safe, ticked all the right boxes and didn't do anything mindblowing alla nintendo. Sony also didn't mention anything about a psp2 instead further backing the psp by announcing a new ad campaign in the style of the Dear Playstation ones, but for some reason everyone is now convinced this means the psp2 exists.

I keep hearing this Harry Potter line. Aside from magic, how are they similar?

Oh yeah. I think it's Steam Cloud support for your saves.
