Trade paper MCV has published an interview with Sony Europe boss David Reeves in which he says Sony doesn't care about how much market share the PS3 takes. "The name of the game is not market share," says Reeves. "Our ambition is to grow 15 per cent a year on hardware and software. We want to double digital entertainment in the next five to six years. Whether we have 40, 50, or 60 per cent market share is not that important."

Now we know why sony has been screwing up so much lately, because they just dont care about market share.  i find it funny that in the last gen console race, they bragged about market share () but now that they have a challenge its like they are changing their story.

Well if they dont have market share the lose exclusives(as they will sell better on other consoles), once they lose exclusives they lose money, and once they lose money they drop out of the console market.


Sound good to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i REALLY would like to see/read developer/publisher reactions to some comments from sony.  i hope that it wouldnt break NDA to state "there is no F*****G way we'll get games to run at 120fps", "the ps3 IS a game console and kenny k is just confused", or "if they dont care about market share then they obviously dont care about exclusives".  i would just LOVE to see something from some people in the industry.

This will ruin about 80% of Gamefaqs' console war threads.

As said elsewhere, this is so that if they get their asses kicked, they can pretend they saw it coming and that it was actually a strategy.
