Jack Tretton has something to say about PS Vita Performance |
Listed in: News Tags: Jack Tretton, Japan, ps vita japanese sales, ps vita sales, vita sales
Wow, the last story I wrote about Tretton, you guys were incredibly vocal about your disdain for him. You didn't really explain why but "TRETTON IS A DOOSH" kinda summed up the feelings for some of you. So it seems that with half a million units sold in less than a month in Japan is not good enough for some people and while there are very little numbers emerging from Western countries, I'm sure Sony can only hope for the best.
Sony head Jack Tretton spoke to IGN earlier this week at length about Vita and what to expect from them in 2012. He said regarding the "abysmal" sales in Japan is that "Quite frankly, it scares me if people think that the Japanese launch is struggling. The fact is they sold 500,000 units in three weeks ...I would be pleased if we did 500,000 units in the first three weeks in the United States. I think that's a real healthy number for a new platform launch."
I'd agree with Tretton if it weren't for the fact that everyone else is looking to Apple for Sony's competition. I personally have no problem with Tretton but it seems that a lot of people are not swallowing what Tretton has to offer. I think yeah, sure, if I made a product and it sold half a mill in three weeks, that's pretty good. At around about $250 a pop in the US ($300+ here in Australia), you could make over $100 million in a few short weeks and with the advertising and some great games already out there, I think that Sony has a fighting chance, everyone just needs to stop using the i-Word.

Everything that comes out of his mouth is garbage, and forced. He's a soulless cog in the corporate Sony machine and it simply is not turning the dials for them.
The company would be a lot better without him. When he announced the data carrier with a great pause in US (the most hated data carrier) it was so cringeworthy.
Okay /rant
P.S. MOAR KUTARAGI!!

$ony always lie and remove features.
Just wait for the first hack to the Vita and watch features get removed.
I dont know anyone that will buy a Vita for $ony's history and the way it treats its customers.

Portable consoles do have a place, industry just has to figure out if it's a niche or not.
(FYI I have medium hands, so it's not a case of either farmer or children hands…)
