From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software - so that gives us a head start.

We'll look at the japanese launch as a model and aspire to have things go as well as they did over there.

The only problem we've had is the amount of time it's taking people to develop titles.

The way companies hang on to their marketshare is by being scared.

Console game publishing has become more like theatrical release film-making and it is very hard if you are not one of the major publishers, and even for them it is hard unless they are working with major game brands.

I'm not saying that more performance wouldn't be better - all these technologies are going to get better - that's the difference between first generation and second generation.

What that means initially is that you have alot of products that are only slightly better games in the same genre on another machine - and the titles that really take advantage of the machine come along later.
