Claims that it is ‘dangerous’ to judge a machine on the launch titles alone, pointing to success of PSOne and PS2
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison has told US games mag Game Informer that people should be cautious about jumping to early conclusions about PS3’s long-term potential, citing that fact that both PSOne and PS2 got off to slow starts.
“It’s always dangerous to judge any system by its launch line-up,” he stated. “You only have to go back to the games that launched with PSOne and PS2.
“If you took those few dozen titles and analysed them, you would never have imagined that either of those formats would have gone on to sell over 100 million units each.
“We have a larger platform-dedicated development resource than our competitors combined. So all of that goes towards the fact that the best games with the best technology are coming exclusively to Sony platforms."
Harrison went on to add that he expects Sony’s highly anticipated PS3 social networking hub Home to go live in October, saying that he is pleased with the progress so far.

Patience? Publishers are not waiting anymore they are jumping ship. Customers are not waiting they are buying Wii & Xbox 360.
Sony needs to bring the cost down to $399 or better and release some good games quickly. They cant wait until Christmas.

Re: Sony wake-up call
Why do I not remember Phil Harrison saying that about the PS1 & PS2 launch line-ups at the time of the respective launches?
