Sony "Nowhere Close to Giving Up on PS3"
Did anybody say that Sony was close to giving up on its console?
Fergal Gara - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's managing director has decided to point out that his parent company isn't finished with PlayStation 3 yet. Although it is working on PS4.
Gara speaking in a recent interview states that, "We're nowhere close to giving up on PS3. When you look at the UK market, it's easy to say that current consoles are fading. But if you look at PS3, it's holding up a lot better than others, so it warrants support.
"But if you look at continental Europe, PS3 hasn't even peaked yet. Why would you run away from a console business when you're not even top of the hill? We're certainly not going to run away from it."
When asked about the next generation of consoles, however, and about being first to the punch with a new console, he points out that:
"We do have a challenge to manage that, particularly in terms of dev studio resources. The more platforms you have, and the amount of rich content you have to deliver on all the systems you are supporting, clearly puts pressure on decisions made across the studio network, which is something we are battling with."
