Sony Chairman Inflates Ego.
iNerd | 4:30 AM on 12.17.2007 8 comments


Sony's chairman, Sir Howard Stringer:

"I'm happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware. The PlayStation 3 will come
into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting."

"I'm glad that the last few weeks have generated excitement about PlayStation 3. Everyone's
stopped talking about it the way they were six months ago."

Executive of gaming company: "[Slam against competitor] [Spin about why their console is the best]"

Sony still has a long way to go before they can start crowing about how great the PS3 is doing.

To be honest, what did you expect him to say?

"Well, our games have been a bit of a letdown, the price is still to high and the Wii is spanking our arses,"

Oh, for an honest world.

as much flack as Sony takes, coupled with the fact that they can't be 100% oblivious to the lameness that they sometimes bring to the table, this seems only natural

"Oh sure, we've only sold 1 console so far, but we are proud of that. Our user base is the most dedicated out there, with a software tie in of 1:1. Plus, we haven’t had a single system fail, unlike our competitors".

MMMMM, that's some tasty marketing bullshit.

"I'm happy the Wii seems to be running a bit short of hardware. The PlayStation 3 will come into its own because its [high-end games] are infinitely more fun, demanding and exciting."

So what he is saying is he is happy that people are making the PS3 their "backup" if they can't find a Wii? I don't get how he finds that Sonys games are "infinitely more fun". If that was actually the case, wouldn't people just buy the PS3 and not give the Wii a second glance?

But Kamide says it is too soon to talk of a Sony renaissance as long as the Wii continues to captivate new and inexperienced gamers. He said: "It has its faults - it's technologically inferior to the PS3 - but it offers something the other can't.----

"If you are the kind of person who plays once in a while, the bells and whistles that come with a PS3 don't mean much. It is a more powerful version of its predecessor, but in terms of games there's nothing really new.

huh? wha? technical superiority means jack shit. The Xbox was a beast under the hood compared to the PS2, and that didn't win it the last gen console war...The only fault the Wii has (IMO) is there are only a few 'actual' games I wan't to play...I could pass on the Mini-Game compilations.

The second part, I don't know wtf he is referring to. Is he saying that about Sonys console? "In terms of games there's nothing new"...That is him commenting on the games for his companies machine...right? wtf is THAT?
Ocified-Xboxer's Destructoid Blog
My reference to "actual" games seems a bit vague....What I mean is that aside from the biggies, LoZ:TP, SMG and MP3 there isn't much else new I want to play.
