Riding high on tonight’s news that the Playstation 3 was the top selling home console in September according to NPD, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment of America says they’ve only just begun.
File this also under “What they say when we’re not listening.” Speaking to Forbes, the SCEA chief Jack Tretton answers a few softballs about the PS3 Slim, then says, “the environment where PlayStation wins is best for this industry.”
Jack Tretton, the Sony Computer Entertainment America boss told Reuters today that if PlayStation 3 sales continue at their present rate, retailers could see a shortage of the consoles later this year.
There’s been a lot made recently about the PS3′s price point. Some say it’s too expensive, some want a price cut. But for Sony exec Jack Tretton, those folks are not thinking long term.
Sony’s new PS3 motion controller – whatever it’s called and whatever it ends up looking like – won’t just be for new games. It might be for old games too!
Sony’s E3 keynote was good, but not great. Why? Because the three biggest reveals – for a motion controller, a new PSP and a new Team Ico game – had all been leaked weeks earlier.
Not many great things are remembered from the 2008 E3 press conference, but, we’ve learned, when Jack Tretton promises something, you can take it to the bank.
Sony Computer Entertainment remains confident in their approach and strategy for “another record year of growth and momentum” for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3, SCEA CEO and president Jack Tretton said.
