Sony's PlayStation executive Fergal Gara talks about price, cameras and the Steam Box.
Fergal Gara has joined Amazon UK as director of PC.
He joins the company after four years in charge of PlayStation’s UK and Ireland business.
During his tenure, he helped turn around the firm’s fortunes in the UK. PlayStation was ranked No.3 in terms of console market share when he joined the business and, by the time he left, PS4 was the No.1 games console in the country.
He was in charge of marketing, sales, finance and customer service
Prior to joining PlayStation, Gara spent six years at Asda, which included stints as category director for music, video and games, general manager for entertainment and - eventually - trading director for Asda Direct.
He´s been in charge of Sony PlayStation UK since 2011, meaning he was in charge for the PS3 doings in that territorial .... if PS3 was only 3rd when he joined Sony, he prolly hasn´t done much to change that image.
Dunno how you can now claim that thanks to him the PS4 is nrº1 in UK. It has to do more that the PS4 is a sexy beast and successful on its own merits and not because he was in charge of it. You could most likely hire an ape from the local Zoo to direct Sony UK and the PS4 would still print money like a wh...
PlayStation UK head Fergal Gara talked about what Black Friday and the season around it ended up resulting in.
The PS4 has had unprecedented success since it was released in 2013, but its predecessor, the PS3, seems to be drifting off into the distance. This Fall represents a massive opportunities for developers and publishers to capitalize on a rising new-gen audience and Sony is quite aware of that.
Seing as how Tretton said there'd be a 10 year plan for the console, this should come as no surprise
Seeing how everyone gets excited with all the remasters for PS4 I'm not surprised and sorely disappointed. That generation lasted longer than it should, I'm baffled to why people want to extend that longer into the PS4. Let's keep it moving.
Sony are in a fantastic position this time round to really impress with their offering.
I cant believe how things have changed in the console gaming space in the last decade. Even though people love to hate either MS or Sony, bottom line is that we the gamers owe much to the big three (Sony, Nintendo, MS) for the amazing breath of possibilities with the new generation of gaming.
No matter the choice, there is something for everyone between the two manufacturers. This is going to be the most entertaining console generation yet!
"In the UK Xbox 360 over its lifecycle has outsold PS3 I think 4:1
That statement can be 180'd in favour of PS4 this time round!
With Ps4 being the strongest console to ever exist,I think we all know who is winning this marathon
It may be a marathon, but getting a big early lead doesn't hurt. A lot of people like to be on the console that is the most popular and where their friends are playing. If PS4 can jump out early and be that console, then I think Microsoft is going to be in real trouble.
Of course with Microsoft having problems with Windows Phone, Windows 8, and investors calling for them to dump the gaming division, they have a few other problems they need to fix too.
They said the same thing about the PS3 generation, so nice to hear them say it again. Means I can look forward to support throughout the entire generation and epic titles even at the end of the consoles life.
When you consider that the PS2 saw it's last title launch THIS MONTH, that's helluva marathon Sony has run!!
