Sony: "Wii-eigenaren zullen PS3-eigenaren worden"

Andrew House is de man die David Reeves opvolgt als grote man van Sony en hij begint meteen al met een gedurfde uitspraak over Wii- en PS3-eigenaren.

If you look back at previous lifecycles, like PS2 versus N64 , we have lots of data that suggests that lots of people bought into N64 as their entry level gaming device, and were happy to upgrade to a more powerful machine later in the lifecycle when the price point was right for them.

I think we're going to see this later on PS3, and the fact that it's a Blu-ray player as well and that there's a wealth of network based experiences than are perhaps available on the device they already have will add to the proposition. I think that will definitely be a factor in the marketplace.

Vertaling

Reeves geeft dus aan te verwachten dat Wii-bezitters later ook PS3-eigenaren zullen worden, mede door het feit dat de PlayStation 3 een Blu-Ray-speler bevat en verder is in het aanbieden van toffe netwerk (=online) functies.
