Tretton: PS3 Is Surf’n'Turf
This has to single-handedly be one of the best analogies ever made in the gaming industry. Sony Computer Entertainment’s Jack Tretton went outside of the normal polite patter at E3 to say exactly how he saw each console…as a food item.
I think the PS3 is the Surf ‘n Turf. You want the lobster and steak and you’re going to give yourself the treat of getting the best thing on the menu. The PS2 is your favorite burger restaurant — you go there for comfort food and it’s just always good and is a good value.
[As for the other two consoles], one [Wii] is a lollipop, and I’m too old for lollipops. The other one [Xbox 360] I get sick from once in a while because the cook isn’t always reliable.
I think he’s a little off-base about the Wii/Lollie part of it, not because the Wii isn’t colourful cavity inducing sugar, but because you’re never, ever too old for lollies. Current sales numbers seem to indicate that a lot of other “old folks” are on the lollie train…it’s outselling Tretton’s surf’n'turf.
