Sony: MS has failed to reach beyond FPS players

Microsoft made "no real capitalisation" of its one-year head start over PS3, and failed to "reach beyond the core first person shooter player", SCEA’s Scott Steinberg has said.

"The time that they had to create huge distance and build a massive install base before the PS3 could really take root; that opportunity is over and there’s no real capitalization of it," Steinberg stated.

He went on to add, "They had a great crescendo moment with Halo and it helped catapult them into a pretty strong position towards the back end of last year, but they were still within a stone’s throw of where they were with the original Xbox.
