Sony: we don't care for GTA exclusivity

Posted on Thursday, 22 June 2006 by Speed, source: TheStreet
Sony really is either feeling overconfident, or they've lost all touch with reality.

In an interview with Thestreet.com, Jack Tretton, co-chief operating officer of Sony Computer Entertainment America, stated that Sony is not really concerned about the fact that the Grand Theft Auto series is no longer exclusive

Last time around, your company had several exclusives on the Grand Theft Auto franchise, which many folks feel was the killer app for the PS2. You're not going to have that advantage this time around. How much does that hurt you?

There's no question that having the Grand Theft Auto franchise helped us a lot and helped us sell some units, but I don't think the battle would be any different with or without Grand Theft Auto.

The reporter clearly couldn't believe what he heard and posed the question again in a slightly different form:

So are you saying that not having an exclusive on Grand Theft Auto doesn't hurt you at all?

No, I don't think it hurts us. No, I really don't.

So, although Sony has been making tons of money thanks to a couple of exclusive killer games like the Grand Theft Auto series, God of War and Final Fantasy, their head honchos don't care about them. Or at least they don't admit caring about them...

Lol speed... what did you expect the bloke to say? That his company actually ran on the success of other companies?

All the hype about what Sony say and doesn't say is kind of exaggerated tbh... all companies make statements like those, just seems everyone jumps on it when Sony makes one of 'm

|He could've phrased it a lot better.
He could have said he didn't think the loss of exclusivtity would affect them and that sales would still be very strong on the Ps3
