GamePro sat down with SCEA president Jack Tretton at last week's E3 to pick the PlayStation honcho's brain on just about every subject under the sun. Most of it's the standard stuff, including thoughts on the incremental PSP redesign and the pluses of the PLAYSTATION 3 as an all-in-one entertainment device. But GamePro wisely used the surefire "food analogy" tactic. Obviously Jack thinks the PS3 is the king of meals, but what about the competition? Tretton speaks!
I think the PS3 is the Surf 'n Turf. You want the lobster and steak and you're going to give yourself the treat of getting the best thing on the menu. The PS2 is your favorite burger restaurant — you go there for comfort food and it's just always good and is a good value.[As for the other two consoles], one [Wii] is a lollipop, and I'm too old for lollipops. The other one [Xbox 360] I get sick from once in a while because the cook isn't always reliable.
You know what, Jack? This is one of those times where you should've deferred to Hideo Kojima's expertise on the subject matter. I realize GamePro unfairly backed you into a corner here, but the dude knows analogy and metaphor on a whole different level. Seriously. Kojima's legendary comparison between the Atari Lynx and a thousand year egg might just blow your Dockers off.
