With Sony revealing the future of gaming with a press event last week, they have taken up the lead with media coverage and have successfully garnered attention in the gaming industry and community. With incomingreports indicating that Microsoft will be revealing their next iteration of the Xbox in April, things are apparently getting hot.

But that does not worry Jack Tretton, the chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

“We’ve always had different competitors. We were in the space before Microsoft and we may be in the space after Microsoft. We’ve seen competitors come and go,” he said.

However he admits that he is mindful of what they are doing but that will actually translate in to the betterment of the industry. “I think we are mindful of what they do and quite frankly we think that anything that adds tension and success in the gaming industry is good for us. So we are aware of the competition but we are kind of marched towards our own strategy. And we are very confident that holiday 2013 is a great time to bring out the PlayStation 4,” he said to Businessweek.

It will be interesting to see what Microsoft has in store during that rumored event in April. This year’s E3 will definitely be interesting to see.

Thank goodness he didn't say anything too ridiculous.

You gotta love Jack Tretton, he doesn't seem very arrogant like the others.

I feel he or Kaz should've been the PS4 presenter not House

“I think we are mindful of what they do and quite frankly we think that anything that adds tension and success in the gaming industry is good for us. So we are aware of the competition but we are kind of marched towards our own strategy. "

Jack Tretton really gave great interviews recently, like the previous one when he was asked about smartphone gaming etc.

He said some stupid things in the past:

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1200 bucks for it." (Jack Tretton on the PS3 launch, 2007)

“[Nintendo 3DS] is a great babysitting tool" (Jack Tretton, 2011)

"I would like my car to fly and make me breakfast, but that’s an unrealistic expectation." (Jack Tretton’s thoughts on those who expect backwards compatibility in future PS3s, 2007)

"[Wii] is a lollipop, and I'm too old for lollipops." (Jack Tretton, 2007)

”The environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry” (Jack Tretton, 2009)

Jack always reminds me of the used car sales man.

With "We’ve seen competitors come and go" he is talking about Sega leaving and MS joining, right? because nothing else happened in the past 15 years. Well Valve and Ouya just happened, but I doubt he is talking about those guys.

He is such a great person. Amazing views on the industry.

Are we talking about the past or the present? people change, Dude!. Didn't he wish Nintendo good luck with the Wii U?

Thanks for the quote.
