Evidently this guy made some public comments about the PS3 but the article has since diappeared. He is a section of it though.
I started [off] VERY excited about the PS3. I was very confident that it was going to just destroy the XBOX 360 just on the name SONY alone. The more time that goes by the more I am becoming doubtful. Everything I’ve developed or seen developed has yet to be ‘next gen.’
His article was published and as a result he was fired. Looks like it was more of a misunderstanding and something that wasn’t a big deal getting blown out of proportion.
Playing Project Gotham on Xbox 360 really impressed me the other day. With the view set on the interior of the car I was impressed how the game played. I was complaining and saying I haven’t seen anything next-gen yet and that the 360 is destined to be the next dreamcast and then I played Project Gotham and changed my mind.
Yeah i heard that aboutthe price too but i dont think sony would do that, when the psp was about to launch people thought that would be around 500 too. Sony will most likely take a hit on these but make up the money on games.
Not surprised at what the guy said, and not surprised by Sony’s reaction. Had I made negative remarks about EB while I was still working there and corporate found out what I said, they would have fired me ASAP with a legitamate reason. Had that website kept the article up, I can assure you there would have been threats of legal action.
Thats not saying that you wont have to spend 500 to get the system up and running and have a couple games, and extra controller, etc… my buddy got his xboxa few games and all the other bits and it came close to 600
