BREAKING: PHIL HARRISON QUITS SONY......!!!!wtf!!!

[quote name='LinkinPrime']He left because he was an HD DVD owner and lover at heart and Toshiba's news devestated him ;)[/QUOTE]Just give it up. Your format lost, ok?
 
Bye Phil, you'll be missed.

"Backwards compatibility, as you know from PlayStation One and PlayStation 2, is a core value of what we believe we should offer. And access to the library of content people have created, bought for themselves, and accumulated over the years is necessary to create a format. PlayStation is a format meaning that it transcends many devices -- PSOne, PS2, and now PS3" - Phil Harrison, Sony, December 2006.
 
I liked the Virtua Boy.

It would not have failed if we had NPDs back there, and if it didnt lose 3rd party support.

Madden on the Virtua Boy is some of the illest shit ever.

Hmmm...so If he was behind all of that...I'm guessing there's really no chance of future incarnations of PS3's to have BC ever again.
 
If he's truly leaving to go to Atari, he's nuts.

Regardless, this does not bode well for the future of Home and a "LIVE" experience.

One console future sounds better and better. Sony can build the hardware, M$ can run online, Nintendo can bring its franchise games and wacky controllers.

So I take it you're not much of a Pepsi man anymore?

[quote name='The Mana Knight']I disagree 100% with this statement. But that's just me.[/QUOTE]

This is true.

Anyway you choose to see this, it's going to be only more bad PR for Sony.
 
I care about this as much as I cared about Peter leaving the 360

WOOOOOOOOOOO

If this has a big effect on Sony, I'll perk up, but I don't see it as the writing on the wall as some do ;)

...Pepsiman, is that you?
edit: argh, beaten!
 
[quote name='pimpinc333']Disagree all you want but the sales figures show it's true ;)[/quote]
PS3 is pretty close to sales with the 360...

And it passed it in terms of first year sales.

I think he was refering to the software side of things. We can't really tell if every PS3 purchased is used specifically for gaming, Blu-ray (movies) or both. I'm the latter, I use it for both. But I have 2 buddies who use it strictly for movies and 1 for gaming only, with a few in between that do both, like me. If software doesn't sell, developers will focus elsewhere. I'm sure with time this will change but I don't think that time is here just yet.

What? So what? We also don't know how many people bought a 360 for DVD's or HDDVD's. Or how many people bought the Wii as a book end.

I think we did know. Didn't MS sport a 8:1 Attach Ratio through the holidays?
 
Well, then. Shall we start a betting pool re: where Phil ends up? My money says EA.[quote name='guinaevere']I had no problem with his statement; a guy is entitled to disagree. I was just razzin' him.

Now, if he's so much of a problem to y'all, I'm curious why you don't already have him on your IGNORE LIST. Unless of course you're a troll yourself and want to be causing problems. But surely that couldn't be it, could it?

If you see problems, then report them. If instead you interact with the offending posts and thereby make the mods' job harder, I'll hand out time outs to everyone. Wouldn't that be fun?




InuFaye is right. Talk about Phil.[/quote]
Heart.
 
[quote name='whoknows']I sorta care, but oh well.

:whee:[/QUOTE]

Yeah... I mean, I can't see this really changing things up anywhere... not immediately, anyway.
 
[quote name='H.Cornerstone']He was the one guy I liked at Sony, very truthful and progressive. he will be missed.[/QUOTE]

same reasons why I liked him. he never had an agenda or anything to hide.
 
he was a cool guy. lol he reminds me of a bald porn star that gets domeski from hot chicks. haha yea i know im weird. hmmm i wonder where he will go..
 
It was weird that he openly spoke out against sony japan and their failure to recognize the market for certain types of games. I guess he was like fuck it, I'll say what I want to say... I'm leaving.

If its true that he's going to go to Atari, then that would be good, they could use his assistance.

HUH?!

Who buys a 360 as a DVD player? And who would buy one, PLUS the add on if going with a more robust and better designed stand alone for HD DVD? Makes no sense in what you posted. Stop being all defensive man.
