Sony’s Phil Harrison Doubts Microsoft Estimates

by Ingrid on May 11th, 2006

In an interview with BBC News, PS3 price guru man, Phil Harrison admitted that he’s doubtful about Microsoft’s claims that the Xbox 360 will have a 10 milliion unit head start by the time the PS3 launches.

He said: “I doubt they will achieve that. I think the clear advantages of the PS3 will mean that this product is very well accepted in the marketplace. We have a great brand and fantastically loyal consumers.”

He went to illustrate the versatilty of the PS3, naming it an “multimedia hub” rather than just a video games console, though consumers would be - of course - the ones to decide in what way they wanted to use their PS3. The illustration served to justify the difference in pricing between the $499 20GB PS3, and the $599 60GB one.

Xbox 360 … PS3 …. Xbox 360 … PS3 ….

At this point, the only thing I’m certain of is the Wii. My preciouusssss.

    By the time the price comes down to where I can afford any of them, the next model will be about to be released!

    I can get the old XBox now, but after having seen the graphics on the new 360, you sort of say “Why bother?”
