According to “semi-official” Sony blog site, Three Speech, SCEE president David Reeves claims that this upcoming holiday season is not “necessarily the most critical one” for Sony…Bwha??
Reeves goes on to state his belief that the Playstation 3’s popularity will hit like a tsunami; slowly building force in the beginning, becoming stronger and stronger as time goes on. He goes on to say that he thinks the critical holiday season for Sony will be Christmas 08, as opposed to this year’s quickly approaching holiday season.
This statement comes as a shock in my opinion, as Sony is currently getting dominated by both the Wii and Xbox 360 in just about every territory. Even in Japan, Sony’s home turf and a major market in their overall business plan, sales of the PS3 are extremely slow, to say the least.
