Reeves: "You don’t grow the market by putting out shoddy machines"

SCEE president David Reeves has told MCV that substandard hardware will do nothing to grow the games market.

"We also grow the market through new products – some work, some don’t, that’s just the Sony way," he said.

"And on that point, another thing we have committed to for supporting market growth is putting out quality hardware – you don’t grow the market by putting out shoddy machines.

"So we try to make sure that PS3s have a failure rate of just two to three per cent, which is very low by industry standards."

Take that, Microsoft.
