Xbox 360 “Running Out of Steam” says PS3 Exec

4.2
SCEA CEO Jack Tretton has taken some serious pot shots at both Nintendo and Microsoft in a new interview with Fortune today, launching an unprecedented attack on Wii, 360 and Nintendo’s portable consoles.Tretton tried to again make the case that the Playstation 3 is “just hitting its stride” with regards to the console’s hardware, which includes both a hard drive and a Blu-Ray player.

Related to Wii and the Xbox 360, Tretton said: “They’re starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond.”

He added: “I mean, you’ve gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale?”

He also took a shot against Microsoft’s Kinect motion controller. Tretton said: “Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I’m doing true accurate motion gaming?”

And what about Nintendo’s portable family of consoles? Tretton said: “Our view of the ‘Game Boy experience’ is that it’s a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He’s too old for that.”

Tretton’s remarks will not go down well with either the competition or fans. PS3 was claimed recently to have a higher “active user base” than Xbox 360, but is still lagging in terms of raw sales.

Wii sales far eclipse those of PS3, meaning that in terms of basic sales, PS3 trails both Microsoft and Nintendo’s current gen machines.

3DS launched in Japan in February and in the west last month.

Mista-Roach Xbox still has more games, we get more map packs, and xbox is moe socail. sorry sony


You may have more games and a bit more social but quality of your games is shit. Kinect fails...People at E3 Took it as a joke. Ps3 will be a better system in the near future Activisions contract is up now unless microsoft pays out the **** again to have the map packs everyone will receive them on actual dates. so yeah xbox is slowy but also radpidly going down hill.


Its funny cause your mad.


Kinect fails? It outsold the Ipad. People took it as a joke did they? So holding what can only be described as the Moves pink and blue dildo's is't funny no?

Slowly going down hill? I think you'll find yourself hating your PS3 in the next year, not because it's a child's console or because no serious gamer has one but because once again, Microsoft will have all the good games and you will be left with the bottom of the barrel..again.

History repeats itself.

Enjoy your paperweight.

Who gives a **** which console sells more. Long as I have the games I want and enjoy playing them, I don't care If Sony sells more consoles then Xbox.

I'm very happy with Xbox, and wouldn't own a PS3 if you payed me.
