House: Sony is “head to head with Microsoft”

August 21st, 2009 @ 17:51
By Jonathan Cullen

SCEE boss Andrew House has admitted that Sony is going “head to head” right now with Microsoft.

Speaking to MCV, House said that the PS3 and PSPgo does have a fighting chance of taking on the Xbox 360.

“We’ve competing very seriously, head-to-head, with Microsoft in Europe right now,” said House, going further to say “and this gives us a major opportunity to do that more aggressively.”

“We have very high hopes for the new PS3 and think it will deliver a significant increase in our sales.”

I think that Sony admitting that MS is competition is news. I seem to remember Sony for a long time shrugging off MS as sort of beneath their contempt. This is a pretty good step for Sony, you should NEVER overlook competition, especially in the form of a multi billion dollar company that has publicly said they want to kill you and have a history of monopolies.

So is he saying collectively the PS3 and PSPGo are competition for the 360, or that they are individually? I find that an odd statement regardless since everyone here has tried to convince me that handhelds and consoles do not compete with eachother. What does he know though? He just heads up the top region of one of the top gaming companies, it's not like he's a forum member or anything.

But the PSP is like 20 million in front, i don't see the point. Let me finish reading.
