Sony answers Gibson

Sony Computer Entertainment was quick to issue a rebuttal of the reports filed by Macquarie Securities’ David Gibson. The analyst claimed a number of PS3s during the TGS suffered problems because of overheating issues. SCE on the other hand, says the report is incorrect.

“SCE can categorically deny that there’s any problems with PS3 units overheating,” according to a statement released by Sony Europe. The company has been suffering from low shares due to the string of bad publicity that the PS3 is getting. It will be remembered that the Europe launch for the console was pushed to March of 2007. It was originally expected to come out later this year. Also, the overheating problems were fuelled by the recent recall of lithium ion batteries.

Regardless, the statement then continues, “As could be seen on the TGS floor by the tens of thousands of media and public attendees, both the hardware and software worked flawlessly.” Despite the rebuttal, one can’t help but wonder just where Gibson got his report.
Besides, Macquarie Securities is not just any so-so company. In fact, it has one of the largest equities research and sales teams covering more than 700 stocks. We wonder who’s telling the truth.
