âThis move from Sony at the end of the PS2âs life cycle is not unexpected. We believe, however, that the future lies in the growth of current generation consoles and Xbox 360, as the fastest growing games console last year, with sales up over 80 per cent, will continue to drive the market.
Essentially this is the corporate equivalent of rolling your eyes and muttering âwhateverâ, perhaps to cover abject relief over the fact that Sony didnât lower the price of the PlayStation 3, a move that really would have give Microsoft a run for their money.
