“Wii is a wonderful device” says Sony CEO

sony dood

In a recent interview with Sony CEO Howard Stringer, he gave his thoughts on Nintendo’s Wii and failure.

Wii is a wonderful device, but has a different target audience. If we fail, it is because we positioned PS3 as the Mercedes of the video game field. PS3 is after a different audience and it can be whatever it wants — a home server, game device, even a computer.

    I agree with a user in a different forum who commented that the real story here is that Sony’s CEO actually considered the possibility of the PS3 being a failure.
