Forums - Sony - Tretton responds to Nov NPD and 2009 Metacritic Success

“In November, PS3 was the only hardware console to see any growth when compared to last November, experiencing an 88% lift and a 122% increase from the previous month. Metacritic also unveiled this week its 2009 Game Platform Power Rankings, in which PS3 titles topped the charts on overall game quality, tallying up five of the top ten best reviewed games in 2009 and with UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves taking best reviewed game of the year."

“The sheer appetite and interest in the PS3 this holiday has been overwhelming and is exceeding our expectations,” he continues “So much so, some retailers are expected to experience tight supply this December. There’s no question the holidays are looking very bright for PlayStation and we’re confident that the new year is on pace for the same with hugely anticipated titles hitting the platform, such as MAG, God of War III, BioShock 2, and Final Fantasy XIII.”

Around the Network

nice spin, but very well done on the metacritic score. some 360 fans will die when they see that (not on here, some i know who say ps3 has no games cuz metacritic says so) lol
all 3 did so well in the US



It's not really spin. And the 360 sold 100k more then the PS3 this month but so what. With the wall-mart deals and modern warfare bundles, if the 360 hadn't outsold the PS3 it would have been the biggest embarrassment in gaming history.



This is PR that I can tolerate. Sure he doesnt mention a few of the bad things but PR never does.



Wow, that is some very good statement after reading the one made by Microsoft PR. I hope the guy from microsoft read this and realize how unprofessional he was.

Tretton is always very professional, and never stray too far from the grain, he should be the PR for all 3 companies.



@steroid XBOX 360 was way behind the PS3 in sales this month how are going to say that they sold more hardware ?



No mention of GT5. May or June release confirmed?



Nice words. No exaggeration or attacks to others.



That's why I like Tretton he just talks good about his own brand. He never really from what I have seen of him, insulted any of the competition.
