Recently speaking to Bloomberg, Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton confirmed that he was backstage during E3 2013 rehearsals when he learnt that his competitors console, the Xbox One, would retail for $500. It is fair to say that this obviously put a spring in his step when he realised that Sony’s console, the PS4, would retail $100 below that at $400.
Continuing to make comments on his competitors, Jack Tretton said to Bloomberg:
“I think ultimately, the gamer looks at ten-year product life cycles; they look at the software offerings; they look at the value proposition. And the lowest priced system isn’t always the most successful, but being cheaper than your competition is never a bad thing. I feel like we’ve got the gamer on our side; I feel like we’ve got the development community on our side; and now we’ve got execute.”
Do you agree with Jack Tretton?
