Gamepro Interview: Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, Defends the PS3

In depth interview with the man behind the PlayStation 3. Jack speaks and we listen. Read how Sony is in the fight of its life with PS3.

The criticism Jack Tretton says is unfounded. "The thing that frustrates me is that there is a whole different level of gaming fans who are haters... I'm not saying the PS3 launch was perfect, but let's try to be a little objective here." Tretton is the president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America. And he would rather focus on what's going right with the PS3 launch. "We're very pleased with how things are going. It's very much according to plan. The next stage is to crank up production and get millions of units to Europe and Japan."

Check out the last page, and see how Tretton turns the tide on the writer. I think a lot of that stems from the Kotaku debacle.

i still dont see why people are trippin....i think the ps3 is doing better then ok,it just needs sometimes to stretch its wings....if you guys are not lazy ya can go back and read a little thru history and see how much the 360 was critisixed and how the ps2 was critisized when they first came.

I'm not saying that its impossible for a console to have a great start i'm just sayin that....a console is kinda like a baby,they dont usually start to walk as soon as they come out it takes times.....ever since capcom said that DMC4 was goin multi. everybody thinks the ps3 is dead.

they also think it might loosse MGS4 and FF13.many people are even saying that if sony looses this exclusives they are dead.well i think you guys are dead wrong.

before you guys decide on a winner at least lokk at whats coming in the future.

i'm sure that by the time MGS4 comes out their dhould be enough systems out there to make it profit out of.

P.S. have any of you guys heard any news on wardevil,metroid prime,eight days,and the new eye toy?

My favorite part was: And we could have said "we were successful there, so let's do a [PlayStation 1.5] and see if we can milk this audience a little bit longer."

BBsin6238d ago

AKA. the nintendo Wii. If Sony were to do the PS2.5 then i'm pretty sure critics and fanboys all over would still complain that the graphics isn't good enough. Lose, Lose situation for sony through the critics, sound pretty unfair to me.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.
