Microsoft uses Xbox launch to raise heat on Sony

by Administrator

Microsoft has used the launch of the XBOX to raise heat on Sony.

Microsoft did not expect a rival product from Sony for another year, irrespective of last week’s announcement by Sony that the PlayStation 3 would hit global markets, including Australia, in November, Microsoft entertainment and devices director David McLean said.

“Irrespective of what they say, I don’t expect to see PlayStation 3 to market before March next year,” he said.

So there you have it. Slack moves by Sony have left them open to attack by the Xbox 360. Microsoft has been executing better, and now Sony has to handle the mis-step or face getting much further behind in the game.
