Xbox Australia Head Unsurprised by PS3 Delays
There’s been a lot of maneuvering for the consoles recently. Newswise, Sony and their PlayStation 3 are getting shafted by the competition, with Nintendo and Microsoft making themselves look better by referencing the PS3’s current woes. Standard business tactics, you could say, but very unappealing.
Today seemed no different from any other in the saga of sadness that is Sony. In a talk with Gamespot Australia, Microsoft‘s Australian Xbox exec, David McLean, said that Sony’s current delays were unsurprising. In fact, he also said “it further wouldn’t surprise me if this product wasn’t seen in March next year either.” Ouch.
Of course, Microsoft will be capitalizing on this. In addition to lowering the Xbox 360’s prices in Japan to snatch some PS3 fans away, they’re going to work the crowds for the holidays to part gamers, who were saving up for the PS3, from their cash. While they do say that it’s a shame they can’t do comparisons between the two consoles yet, you can be sure they still expect to stay on top.
Meanwhile, Sony declined to comment. Let’s hope they have something planned to pleasantly surprise us all. Preferably a renewable source of clean energy… just to be different.
