All of us at Sony Computer Entertainment have been waiting a long time for this moment, |
It's hard to tell at this point in time. Even at our first-party studios we're putting the finishing touches on the games. I'd rather delay a game by a week or two then rush stuff out there. |
Like the Internet, the PS2 is a very open model. If there is no revenue, there is no royalty. We leave it up to the publishers. |

PSP will enter an already crowded space, but one with much growth opportunities, ... PSP is a new format and a new business for us. It is a totally new play experience. |

We didn't want it to be seen as a competitor to the other handheld gaming devices in the market. We wanted to offer consumers a completely new world, as we did with PlayStation and PlayStation 2. So we looked at what would be the right value proposition to consumers in North America and decided including all these accessories... plus the demo disk and [the ability] to enjoy 'Spider-Man' out of the box was the best value proposition. |
We have always attempted to do things differently. Our vision has taken us to unprecedented levels of success and innovation. Just keeping up with conventional technology is not enough for us. |

We're going to try to double the installed base between now and the end of the year. |
When we launch the system, we envision it's going to be a small percentage [of consumers] that will actually take advantage. |
