Tretton : PS3 is lobster,PS2 is McDonalds,Wii is a lollipop and Xbox 360 is sick

Gamepro recently probed Sony's Jack Tretton to describe how he views each of video game console on the market in relation to a meal or food. He claimed the PS3 is the best thing on the menu and is like the lobster and steak, while the PS2 is like your favorite hamburger joint offering comfort food and good value. The Wii is like a lollipop for children and the Xbox 360 makes you sick every so often because the chef isn't too reliable.

How would you describe each current game console if you had to describe it as a meal or food?

I think the PS3 is the Surf 'n Turf. You want the lobster and steak and you're going to give yourself the treat of getting the best thing on the menu. The PS2 is your favorite burger restaurant -- you go there for comfort food and it's just always good and is a good value.

[As for the other two consoles], one [Wii] is a lollipop, and I'm too old for lollipops. The other one [Xbox 360] I get sick from once in a while because the cook isn't always reliable.

I agree , I hate food that makes me sick , and a lollipop is good only sometimes , I prefer a nice steak with hot sauce , And A Burger is HELL fine

I'd say it's more like...

The Xbox 360 is a good steak that isn't always cooked quite right.

The PS3 is a small piece of caviar that is ill-prepared and not for consumption yet

And the Wii is ice cream.

lmfao.

I like steak n lobster n burgers... Lolipops are good too, but there isn't any real way to agree with the 360... =/ Even though I like it..

I think IMO it's like this in restaurants (big chains)

PS3: Black Angus

Xbox360: Applebees

Wii: McD' / BK / Etc...

Rofl!! @ lollipopsUnforgiven2870

That'd work, especially since the insides can make me feel a little sick sometimes. XD

I wish Execs couldnt talk.. that would be nice.vik212121

So wait. What kind of food IS the 360? E Coli spinach?

And seriously, who is too old for lollipops?

:( Ewwww.

I don't like Tretton very much. He was annoying to listen to during the e3 press conference. He kept whining about how nervous he was.

Wow someone's upset. Could you explain that comment?

Some people are allergic to seafood... I'm allergic to spending $500/$600 on a console.MaxxxReebo

A steak isnt sea food , Plus I dont like spending money on lollipops and I hate poisoned food

And will thus kill you one of these days

Does this guy honestly have any room to talk? Killzone looks pretty and now Sony thinks they're hot **** again. They're still getting outsold by the 360 world wide, and by about 3 to 1 by the Wii world wide.

If you live in a glass house, it's probably best not to throw rocks, as they say.

Umm... "Surf 'n Turf" generally includes seafood. And if you don't like lollipops, you're just crazy. And you take that back about poisoned food. Poisoned food RUL3Z!

Dunno if you've ever heard of having a steak "blue" or "rare"... But there are various degrees to how cooked the steak is, all of them edible, just not always exactly what you want.

What's this, another egotistical and condescending Sony executive? Shocking.Zeliard9

But Tretton is an idiot still, I think Harrison is better.

See, this is exactly why I HATE Jack Tretton. Its one thing to be in competition with something/someone, but I have YET to read or hear him acknowledge Microsoft, the 360, or anything that they are doing well. This is just stupid, arrogant, and annoying. He refers to them as "the other one". Why? Why can't he say "the 360"?

For example - I graduated from Ohio State and I absolutely HATE the University of Michigan, yet I don't act like they don't exist. If they have a solid football team, I'll acknowledge that, point out their strengths, what they do well, etc. I still root for my Buckeyes, but won't act like U of M doesn't have a football team. Its just stupid how Tretton takes this approach.
