marcuspsp

How are you feeling today? Creaky? A tad grizzled? How does a bowl of ice cream sound to you? Like unnecessary calories and an increased risk of diabetes? Can you explain – in a few excessively enthusiastic sentences – what a “Bakugan” is? No?

Then the PSP probably isn’t for you anymore.

Interview – SCEE’s Andrew House

andrewhouse

Andrew House, president, CEO and CFO of SCEE, seems very pleased with the momentum of PS3 since releasing the slimmer model, and feels the recently announced hardware SKUs will once again best company expectations.

Speaking with Patrick Garratt at gamescom, House’s main focus seems to be on consumer experience, and adding value to PS3 – whether for a current console owner or someone entirely new to consoles – leading one to surmise Sony hopes its focus on consumer offerings will pay off for it in the end.

Read on below as House and Pat chat about Move, the core, 3D, and whether motion will be included in everything going forward.

Interview – SCEE’s Andrew House

andrewhouse

Andrew House, president, CEO and CFO of SCEE, has been in the PlayStation business forever, it seems.

He’s held many executive positions within Sony – VP of marketing, CMO, and group executive to name a few – and he played an integral role in developing the PlayStation brand into a household name in North America.

Therefore, it’s safe to say that the gentleman knows a thing or two about Sony’s consoles and the business end of those products.

Being the inquisitive types, we wanted to pick his brain a bit, and lucky for us he was on hand today after Sony’s E3 press conference.
