Sony Computer Entertainment America's CEO blames society for PS3's problems

wow, sony now owes EGM $1,200Dragonblade01

So, who were the 100 Million people who bought the PS2, if not "society"? :| Sony PR is worthless.HeedleGlavin

Sony-"Its not our fault, I..Its your fault, y...yeah, you people told us you wanted Blu-ray shoved down your throats....Waaaah waaaah."

Not cool

It's always easier to blame others than to admit your own faults.

Its like they dont know when to shutup!

Heck yes I'll own a Ps3 eventualy, but man are these arrogant comments p***ing me off!

Nobody wants a Blu-Ray implant device disguised as a gaming machine, that's Sony's problem. It's not our fault for not wanting them.

Tretton: Really? If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes I'll give you $1,200. (Then talks about how he can call any retailer and confirm that there are no PS3s on shelves anywhere in NA).

EGM: We just called 18 random locations (Best Buy, EB Games) and half of them had PS3s in stock - some as many as 20 units.

:lol: Pwned!

:? Tretton is becoming the new kuturagi....munu9

:lol:

That's really sad. Sony doesn't have it in them to blame themselves for the poor launch.

I can't believe what I just read. I don't know why, but I just can't. I'm not calling the TC a liar or anything. It's just that, someone couldn't possibly be this full of themselves could they??

Say what you want about Nintendo being stubborn about media formats, but they have NEVER publicly insulted their customers like Sony has over the last couple of years.  It's insulting at best, and downright disgusting at worst.

CuDDKiDD

Yes...their are people out there, in the world, just like this, and they say they really care about there fans, then turn around and blame the fans even when its their own fault.

Find, I'll stand up for him. I think he's right that the "gaming" society wants them to fail. Everyone looks at the 360 and then says, " Why can't the PS3 be like the 360?" You know what it's better than the 360. PS standards is too high to please the new "online is the future" gamer. Truth be told, there's not that many online gamers. only 50% of 360 gamers have XBL? Online is important, but it is not the main priority. Everybody want to be Jack. Climb up the beanstalk, and kill the giant. Well, this giant is gentle, and the real ugly faces are the ones who wants it to die.Socrates88

All quotes are from this month's EGM that I just got today in an interwith with Jack Tretton, Sony CEA CEO and President.

Note: EGM questions are paraphrased, Tretton's responses word for word (except stuff in parenthesis)

Question 1

EGM: PS3's launch has had the most negativity of any launch surrounding it, what happened?

Tretton: The problem we have . . . it's society in general. (then talks about how everyone wants them to fail but the PS3 was the most successful launch Sony ever had )

Question 2

EGM: Say they've done checking around and PS3s are sitting on store shelves.

Tretton: Really? If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes I'll give you $1,200. (Then talks about how he can call any retailer and confirm that there are no PS3s on shelves anywhere in NA).

EGM: We just called 18 random locations (Best Buy, EB Games) and half of them had PS3s in stock - some as many as 20 units.

Tretton: We've shipped more than 1 million units to North America... (goes on to imply that retailers are probably lying on the phone about their inventory and backtracks and says that if only 9 out of 18 have PS3s then the glass is half full )

Question 3

EGM: What went wrong with the UMD format on the PSP?

Tretton: The mistake we made with UMD as a movie format was assuming the movie studios understood our consumers and their tastes . . . that they knew what they were doing.

Ok, that's enough. Everyone should pick up a copy of this month's EGM - this Sony guy comes off as the typical Sony arrogant ass.gamerfan11

Well like the last guy that stood up for Sony CEO i gotta do the same.  It kinda is society's fault.  A lot of people have dissed the ps3 for being high priced, not like 360,  well i never had a problem with ps2 or ps1 and i think a lot of people make stuff up just to diss ps3 especially people in these forums.  So what if ps3 is priced 100 dollars more than 360 or they could've taken a lot of features off and price like the wii but that wouldn't be sony.  Sony always makes the best products whatever it is
