Sony: Wii Owners Will Become PS3 Owners Eventually

Posted by Mavrik | Filed under Gaming

Andrew House, the new boss of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has a new opinion on how the console war is going to pan out. In his first real public interview since assuming the role, House tells Edge Online:

If you look back at previous lifecycles, like PS2 versus N64 [sic], we have lots of data that suggests that lots of people bought into N64 as their entry level gaming device, and were happy to upgrade to a more powerful machine later in the lifecycle when the price point was right for them.

I think we’re going to see this later on PS3, and the fact that it’s a Blu-ray player as well and that there’s a [greater] wealth of network based experiences than are perhaps available on the device they already have will add to the proposition. I think that will definitely be a factor in the marketplace.

Interesting take and definitely not a bad start to the man’s shit-talking career!
