In a recent interview with Computer and Video Games, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves told the Web site he was worried less about moving units at the PS3's launch than he was about maintaining sales after early adopters had purchased their systems. "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games," he told the site.

arrogant or what

The only thing the PS3 has over the 360 in terms of technology is a slightly more powerful processer (thought the 360 has a slightly better gpu) and a Blu-Ray drive.

Uh... No. Xbox360's GPU runs at 500mhz, while PS3's runs at 550mhz. As well, X360's overall Floating Point Performance is 1 TFLOP.

PS3's is 2 TFLOPs.

PS3 is far superior to X360 in every single department.

Wanna see for yourself?
