Sony's Jack Tretton: Wii is a "lollipop", 360 an "unreliable cook" (gamepro.com)

Xbox 360 = Toaster Oven

That's the world's loudest toaster oven.

The PS3 is to videogames what Starbucks is to coffee.

Difference is that Starbucks is popular.

I love how he even said he could not do it objectively, yet the same DP members who always seem to find their way into Sony threads, rip him for answering the question anyways.

If he said The Wii was steak, the 360 was chicken and PS3 was crap, you guys would rip him for craping on his own system.

No, I'd give him mad fucking props. The same mad props I give Bungie for admitting the random suckiness of Halo 2 (see the "Et tu Brute " Video), and even more to Microsoft for admitting the 360's issues and giving an unheard warranty to cover said issue.

Sony still has never admitted the PS2 / PSone drives issues, which is why I find the PS3 so ironic; they got the drive right, just not the line-up to play on it.

In the food analogy, it's as follows:

Wii = Comfort food. No matter when, why, or how you eat it, it's always satisfying and makes you feel good...even when you're GF kicks your ass at it. >_<

XBox 360 = Spicey Meatballs that occaisonally need to be sent back to the kitchen. Very nice appetizers online to nibble on while you check out the lounge acts.

PS3 = The lollipop factory; it's making suckers out of every corporate person who talks about it.

Very good point and comparison. I never saw this entire thread like that until you put it into perspective. Now it makes more sense.

If he were to admit that the price is on the high side i'd respect that alot more than the typical corporate "we feel the price point will appeal to our customers" or some such PR double talk.

I don't have an actual problem with the PS3 other than I find its pricing to be exorbitant.

Crap is a food? Eww...

The Wii is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you always know that it'll have peanut butter AND jelly on it, the 360 is like a pizza, you can always choose to get pepperoni on it. The PS3 is like a taco, because usually I take most of the lettuce off..


Seriously, these posts make no sense.

and even more to Microsoft for admitting the 360's issues and giving an unheard warranty to cover said issue.

They basicly had no choice tho. So many people had problems, lawsuits was upon them, media wrote much about it etc. I wonder how they would manage to cover up something like this if they didnt want to admit it after all the heavy pressure.

If I was Microsoft I'd blame the whole thing on the Commies.

I like lolli pops.

Best post on this thread. I usually take most of the lettuce off my tacos too.

[jajaja]

How does a taco with lettuce being removed resemble a PS3? What do you remove from the PS3? Or do you mean that you pay extra for the lettuce that you dont want?

[Push Upstairs]

The lettuce is an metaphorical allusion towards the Emotion Engine

You pay for something and you get more than what you want?


Where is Lil_Jon when you need him?

I'd applaud him for honesty. I want to get a PS3 simply because I know it'll pick up the pace. However, so far there's really nothing I'm excited about and I'm not blowing 500 dollars on my hopes that it'll get some good games.

One day, probably in the not too distant future, you're going to look back on that and laugh.

I was laughing when I wrote it.....hence the call for Lil_Jon.
