Tretton Talks about PS3’s first year
The PlayStation 3 has seen its share of hiccups in its first year on the market, but one stands out above the rest for Sony Computer Entertainment America president and CEO Jack Tretton. In a recent interview with MSNBC, Tretton zeroed in on the paucity of systems produced for the big launch.
"I don’t think there’s any question that there were missteps," Tretton said, "but I don’t think anybody is being honest with you if they say that the first year of any platform goes perfectly according to plan. I think the biggest miss for us was the launch, in that we had easily a million consumers in North America alone that wanted to get their hands on a PS3 …and we had roughly 200,000 units to take advantage of that demand."
