The environment where Playstation wins is where games cost tens of millions of dollars to make, get returned after five hours of play, nine out of ten make a loss, the developers make no money and thus lose all incentive to make more products. In other words, it’s the WORST POSSIBLE environment for this industry.
Maybe he misunderstood the question and was referring to the high-def TV industry. :-)

Jack Tretton is rapidly becoming my favourite laughable Sony rep.

It’s funny he doesn’t mention the PSPGo anywhere.

“the environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry.”

Sooo, the environment where Xbox or Wii win is bad for this industry?

And just how long did they take before embracing the risk to lower the price on the PS3?

I suppose pricing the PSP Go at a point just shy of the PS3 was pretty risky.

All about consistency in corporations.

However consistently blowing it out your… well, that’s not a good thing.

Nice to see someone in the Sony camp other than our good friend Ken trying to convince us that 0=1.

Sony takes more risk? Rofl, I like how he talks like they’re the underdog, when last generation their roles were reversed.

Nintendo are the ones who took the ‘risk’ with a crazy motion sensor technology, now sony and microsoft are all over it bringing out their own versions seeing how well it went.
