Peter Dille says that the Elite “legitimises Sony’s PS3 strategy”

 

So, the Xbox 360 Elite is out, and some folks are rejoicing, but what’s Sony‘s take? GamesIndustry reports that SCEA has responded to the unveiling of the high-end Microsoft console by noting that this displays a universal adoption of high definition standards. In a statement, Vice President of Marketing Peter Dille comments that every PS3 owner should have an “elite” experience. He says:

We think every PlayStation 3 owner should have an “elite” experience, which is why we include an internal hard drive and HDMI output in every PS3 we sell, along with the 50GB of storage capacity on a high definition Blu-ray disc.

…MicrosoftÂ’s announcement today not only legitimises Sony’s PS3 strategy, it moves us closer to adopting universal standards in the area of high definition gaming that will benefit game developers and ultimately the end user.

Dille adds that Sony’s been the strongest advocate of high definition as the future of gaming and notes that this requires high-definition components, including HDMI output and large storage devices to better handle all that HD content. Yeah, that’s why the X360 elite comes with a 120 GB hard drive, and an HDMI cable right out of the box.

GamesIndustry reports that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe declined to offer further comment. Good for them.
