CNN Money recently sat down with Sony PlayStation CEO Jack Tretton to discuss the success of Sony's PlayStation 3, its struggles with pricing, and being in third place behind the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. It would seem the console wars are very much alive, not only with heated fanboy debates but with the guys at the very top of the organizations as Tretton talked some trash about his competitors' consoles.
"They're (Xbox 360 and Wii) starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond," Tretton told CNN Money. "I mean, you've gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale? Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I'm doing true accurate motion gaming?"
This is an odd statement since Sony PlayStation launched their own motion gaming controls with the PlayStation Move last year. As far as technology, Tretton repeated his mantra that the PlayStation "just hitting its stride." Sony has, indeed, been closing the gap with Microsoft's Xbox 360, though it's still only sold less than half the number of Wiis Nintendo has moved.
Speaking of Nintendo, Tretton had some very choice words when speaking about the Nintendo DS, the portable console that has always dominated Sony's PSP.
"Our view of the 'Game Boy experience' is that it's a great babysitting tool, something young kids do on airplanes, but no self-respecting twenty-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those," he says. "He's too old for that."
What do you think? Is Tretton stepping over the line or does he have the facts and the sales to back up his bold claims? Is there such a thing as too old to play the Nintendo DS?

Ahora en serio, que me explique entonces por qué las consolas de nintendo suelen tener un rango de edad de sus jugadores bastante mayor que las consolas de sony.
