Sony’s VP of marketing, Peter Dillie, has criticised the Xbox 360 for it’s profitability, inconsistency and reliability. Speaking at the recent E3 event, Dillie said:
“I don’t want to be argumentative. But I take issue with Microsoft either having a long tail, or being profitable, because they’ve never done either. They’ve never made a dime in this business.”
“With the Xbox 360 you’ve got an inconsistent design, some have a hard drive, some don’t, and none of them have Blu-ray, and the HD DVD will be out of business in a matter of months. Is this a ten year product?”
“It doesn’t even work. Do they want to be selling it for ten years and refurbishing them all for ten more years? I don’t think that’s a ten year product. You could disagree with me, or they could disagree with me, but I’d put that up against the PS3 any day.”
