Sony boss Jack Treton says Nintendo systems are “babysitting tools”
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
“They’re starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond. 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? 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?” – Sony boss Jack Tretton
Of course, he talks about the DS too:
“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.”
Well then Mr. Tretton, I reckon there are a LOT of self disrespecting twenty-somethings out there! Good lord…
