Greenberg Points the Finger at Sony (again)
Aaron Greenberg, Xbox’s director of product management, just can’t seem to have Sony close to his heart as once again he’s made a harsh comment about the company’s “policy”. In this respect he mentioned the notoriety of the major label as not having the habit to respect its promises. More than once Sony failed its gaming public.
On May 9 Greenberg made quite a fuss on the web after during an interview he launched repeated attacks against Sony, the subject being its PlayStation 3 business to date.
Recently Greenberg explained his choice of words as being the mere expression of his frustration caused by the lack of seriousness Sony accustomed us to.
“I think Sony has had a history of over-promising and under-delivering. [I was] just using actual facts of all the things that they had promised. I think I talked to some folks about this afterwards, but I think as an industry, we owe it to our customers to be straight with them. I think that some of the stuff we’ve talked about, while the reaction may not always be positive, we’re going to tell you… People just want you to be straight with them. We know titles slip, we know things happen, and there’s little we can do to control that, but if we promise something - I think as an industry - we need to start living up to our promises. As an organisation, I think Xbox has a pretty good track record of doing that.”
