@outlawauron: He could have said similar things without sounding so ignorant and unprofessional.

Instead of saying "the Wiimote is a fad" he could have said "Nintendo's controller is proving to be successful for their platform, but it wouldn't necessarily work on ours"

Instead of saying "we don't want the senior citizen group" he could have said "we're happy that Nintendo brought new people to the gaming world, and we intend to take advantage of that, along with our own initiatives for broadening our userbase".

If you're a Sony investor and look at this interview, what will you think? Most likely, you'll assume that SCE's management has gone mad.

 

 

Well said.  I would actually think it would be worse if he didn't try to spin the PS3 into a more positive position but that can be achieved in a more professional manner.  Currently he comes across no better than a random PS3 fanboy on the internet.

No, if you're a Sony investor, you will think "Oh thank goodness Sony has multiple divisions."

 

You'd probably think both... :P

I would like to start my post with "Ps2 rules" It really does...


What they said is rather funnny. Stop saying you have great ideas and release them instead of saying them the next year and then delaying it...

Honestly, I do not see that as "wii is a fad", more as "copying something others have done to get some profit from it as well = a fad (for the PS3) that won't last long".

Wow, thank you Sony PR idiot of the day. Oh well I guess the PS3 is just too cool for pretty much everyone now.

Pretty mean and pointless slander. Makes me angry towards them, honestly. If that matters or not, who knows.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I'm glad somebody else had the good sense to actually READ the fucking article.

Tsk tsk Blade buddy, you know it's much more fun to simply read the title to the thread and base your comments off that.

I agree with Sony. Wii is for oldies, kiddie and casual gamers. The more violent games cater for the mature audience and they are on the PS3.
