Sony trash-talks Microsoft, others | |

With most of the actual news, such as console price cuts and online strategies, having leaked out weeks ago, Sony kicked off the game industry's biggest trade show by trash-talking the competition. Kaz Hirai, president of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, used the company's press conference in advance of the Electronic Entertainment Expo to tout the huge sales lead of Sony's PlayStation 2 over Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube. The PS2, which has been on the market a year longer than either competitor, has sold 30 million units worldwide, compared with about 4 million for each for its rivals. Sony expects to sell another 20 million during the current fiscal year. "The console wars are over," Hirai said. "I liken the gap with our competition to the Grand Canyon." | ||

I used to think that, in Sony, MS had found a formidible competitor that doesn't just roll over and play dead, but bites back.
However, I'm not so sure now. Sony's starting to sound like Netscape and Novell. "Ha ha, look at us, we have 99.9% market share and you'll never touch us, so we'll just kick back and rest on our pot of gold. ha ha" 5 years later, they're petitioning the DOJ to stop MS from being a "monopoly". |

daz - I have to agree.
But perhaps their arrogance has merit. Hard to say. They sell well in virtually every market they compete despite having substandard(with the exception of television) crap to sell. |
