Forums - Sony - Sony: the PS triple will stand the test of time !

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) vice president of marketing Peter Dille has reiterated the platform holder’s commitment to backing PlayStation 3 for the next decade, boasting that the machine will be the “centerpiece of your entertainment for the next 10 years.”

Speaking to GameDaily, Dille commented, “We also have to work hard to gain our consumers’ trust and make them comfortable that when they buy a PS3, it’s going to stand the test of time.”

“The fact of the matter is we’re the only console manufacturer that’s ever launched a product that’s had a 10-year life-cycle. And we’ve done that now not once, but twice.”

Dille went on to note that although the economic slump is likely to deter punters from forking out for expensive goods, consumers are more likely to invest in value – and PlayStation 3 makes for the ideal choice.

“One of the great things about the PS3 is that if you buy it today you can be confident it's going to be the centerpiece of your entertainment for the next 10 years. Economically, that's a great value."

"Yes, in tough times people think twice about discretionary spending, but we also know people spend for value. They are looking for things that will last before they spend the money. We believe that plays right into our strengths," he said.

Well one thing is certain. It needs a lower price. It's selling fine, but if you want it to go into overdrive sony it needs to be cheaper. The issue with that is that it's too expensive to make.. so all i'll say is.. hurry up with the price reductions and hardware revisions !

This guy is desperated... I would understand such declaration from somebody selling home or boats...some kind of long term investement...  but not videogaming (videogaming is no investment).

This industry is about fast changing inovations and that dude is trying to make us swallow the price of the console by saying it will last 10 years... what a pitty...

The PS3 might stay for 10 years no problem... but this has nothing to do with an initial 10 years plan... more like a desperate measure to justify the price...

 

How believe this trash ???



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Someone at sony is confusing confidence with arrogance



It sounds like Bush saying, "History will judge me the right way"



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

"the centrepiece of your entertainment for the next 10 years"

It's not arrogance its marketing guff, virtually every company that has a product will state something like this, people just see what they want to see.



oh the drama
