Apparantly to become an exec at Sony you must have no attachment to reality and lack all reasoning capabilities

The new president of SCEE, Andrew House, isn't wasting any time taking over the reins from David Reeves and causing a stir. After having been in his new office for only a little over a month, House is already making daring statements, telling Edge-Online that he believes Wii owners will eventually 'upgrade' to PS3. His logic is based off prior figures that pit the lifecycle of PS2 against that of N64 (he probably meant GameCube), citing Nintendo's console as the "entry level gaming device" and that data suggested consumers planned to "upgrade to a more powerful machine [read: PS2] later in the lifecycle when the price point was right for them."

That's a rather interesting thing to say because, frankly, for most people, the price of the PlayStation 3 isn't anywhere near right just yet. Of course, House's scope is for the long-term and about inevitable future price cuts, but there's one thing he forgot to factor in: Microsoft. What's stopping people from upgrading to the Xbox 360, especially since Microsoft has drastically taken up a bigger share of the market since the last generation?

It's too bad you took your predictions out of your sig...

It's funny... I know what Reeves said is stupid, but I actually did just that. I bought a Wii at launch because it was the cheapest and it looked kinda cool, then I bought a PS3 after the price drop.

He thinks people upgraded from the Gamecube to the PS2

Because the PS2 was a more powerful system

That was the reason this imaginary scenario happened

MY BRAIN IS ON FIRE

Uhhh I tought Gamecube was more powerful than the ps2?.

My predictions are still there, apparantly Sony fanboys suffer the same problems as the execs as well as losing their reading ability

To the best of my knowledge it was. Hence my brain being on fire!

uh... i dont think he was dissing you, nor was he doing anything blatantly fanboyish in his statement.

anyways, i agree with the OP, this guy has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. he probably just entered the industry two days ago, thinking itd be an easy ride to success. good luck with that, House.

Oh, good then. Maybe one of the higher ups at Sony will see them and offer you a position :P

I think the OP and the Executive are both insane.

Afraid not, see mine have a chance of actually happening, Sony predictions require that they be not only impossible but also insane
