Epic VP Mark Rein really believes in the PS3...at least currently. In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz during GDC (and after Phil Harrison's keynote), Rein sang the praises of the PlayStation 3.
"As the big titles come out, they're going to sell a bunch of machines. When PlayStation Home comes out, they'll sell a bunch of machines... Yeah, it's a high price, because it's a new, high-end piece of equipment, but history shows that price will come down. They'll sell lots of them, it'll be fine."
He also took a shot at some of the system's critics regarding the supply and demand issue.
"So wait, if they don't have enough machines in stores, that's a bad thing? If they do have enough machines, that's a bad thing? Pick one!
Mr. Rein, if there aren't enough systems at launch and they cause craziness, that's bad. If Phil Harrison says they are completely sold out everywhere and they aren't, that's bad, or at the very least misleading. Situations can change like that.
I can completely see Sony surging forward and taking a position at the front of the pack again, and I can understand why people would rise to defend Sony after seeing some of the stuff in store for the system.
What I can't understand is why they keep letting Mark Rein talk.
