While his company might have been humbled by disappointing sales and major customer security breaches, SCE President Shuhei Yoshida isn’t above taking digs at the competition
I’m not normally one to publish articles that will likely fan the flames of fan-boy rage but it really irritates me when video game executives take shots at the competition.
Despite their company’s misfortunes in recent years it seems that Sony’s higher-ups still aren’t afraid to publically take digs at the competition. Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida, speaking to Eurogamer, had this to say about Nintendo’s current portable console:
“Aside from the 3D stereoscopic display, [Nintendo] seem to be keeping the same theme that they had with the DS – it feels like an update of the DS to me.”
Speaking of the company’s own upcoming portable he also said that “There’s no one clear competitor in terms of what NGP offers”.
Okay, so this isn’t exactly an all-out attack on the quality of the 3DS but the tone says a lot. It’s dismissive, passive-aggressive and slightly arrogant given that this is coming from the man responsible for the upcoming competitor product, the NGP/PSP2/Vita/whatever it’s called.
Personally I find these types of comments petty and frankly unprofessional, no matter which executive from whatever company says them.
Yoshida did go on to talk about a common enemy between both Sony and Nintendo, however: mobile phone gaming.
“We are dealing with the same issue that Nintendo is. It’s up to content publishers, including ourselves, to show people that this is worth £25 or £30 as opposed to 59p.
“You cannot release the same content that you put on the iPhone for a dollar on to NGP or some other consoles and expect people to pay 20 times that.”
