Heres an excerpt:
GameDaily BIZ: What was your reaction when you heard that Sony postponed its European PS3 launch and will only have 500K units on launch day? You must have been thrilled...
Aaron Greenberg: We know how challenging it is to pull off a global launch, so it's not surprising that Sony has backed away from their previously announced launch plans. Profile
BIZ: It seems that Europe always gets the shaft in these situations. Why do you think that is and how important do you think this delay will be in advancing Microsoft's Xbox 360 lead in Europe?
AG: Europe remains a priority for us and that is why gamers have been able to experience Xbox 360 from day 1 and why we're confident we're going to have a great holiday, regardless of what competitors are or are not in the market. Xbox 360 will have more than 160 high-definition games including next generation exclusives like Viva Piņata from Rare, Gears of War from Epic, Pro Evolution Soccer 6 from Konami and FIFA 2007 from EA, a robust and continuously growing online gaming community in Xbox Live, fantastic entertainment capabilities, optional HD DVD movie playback capability and a great-value price.
