Peter Moore Bitch-Slaps Sony Once More For Old-Time Sake
Good Lord, I’m going to miss Peter Moore. Like… really miss Peter Moore. For reasons much like this one.
In an interview with MCV, Peter Moore took one last pot shot at Sony and it’s PS3. In the interview, Moore had some words for both Nintendo and Sony, praising Nintendo’s innovation while criticizing the cocktease Sony game us with their temporary price-drop.
They need to find a way to get to $399 and then see what happens. I’m not sure the 80GB model is going to have a profound effect. I’m also not sure what they’re going to do with all that extra space. I was expecting an announcement of a full video download service, but it just isn’t there.
This is why Peter Moore owns you, and everyone who looks like you.
But, Moore was not all hostility. When asked about Nintendo, Moore had nothing but kind words for the Big N.
The numbers bear it out. Nintendo deserves more respect. Maybe they’re still a bit weak on third parties – their record has never been great in that area – but they’re doing something about that and looking to address it. At his conference Reggie (kicker of ass, taker of names) said he was aware that some rivals had indicated that DS and Wii would turn out to be fads. Well I, for one, certainly don’t think that. Maybe he was referring to something that Sony has said. I’ve been a fan from day one.
I have to say, he’s right. About Sony, anyways. A temporary $100 drop in price for a SKU they’re taking out of service is hardly enough. As for his comments on Nintendo, all I can say is “different strokes for different folks”.
