ahhhh corporate people .. wonder if the same would come out of his mouth if XBox is not from Microsoft. .. and yeah right ... we dont need a PC (to do accounting, word processing etc), but we ALL NEED 50g of space to play HD games .. oh yeah .. i think we dont need the mobile version of pc, u know the notebooks ... especiallu the overprice and tiny Vaio

and yeah i record tv shows on my pc ... i think the Sony shud shut the fcuk up. Everything they say would backfire one way or another. i heard someone from Sony's PR has resigned .. I wonder why! oh wait the minute .. maybe because she is tired of being ambushed with unanswerable questions which are the end results of stupids remarks and statements from Sony heads

okay after the "PC is irrelavent" statement from Harrison, anothe Sony head, O'Hanrahan (Ireland) claims that PC games are back ..
they are sooo funny .. i hope Sony would learn the lesson and launch their future products together with other competitor .. they like omg .. mumbling here and there

Sony gets realistic, but remains confusing

More PR strangeness from Sony: Niall O'Hanrahan, a representative of Sony Computer Entertainment in Ireland has added his words to the boiling pot of Sony sound bites. Speaking to the Irish Times, his words offer a slightly more pessimistic tone. Regarding tasks that Sony has set itself with the PS3, O'Hanrahan said "we have a marketing challenge from now until launch. This is not a done deal. It will require a lot of effort from us." He also referred to the extra competition that the PS3 has to face due to its role as more than just a game console: "Competition is now not limited to direct competition. We compete with MP3 players. We noticed at E3 that games for PCs are back."

It's nice to see someone from Sony remaining realistic about the challenges the company faces as it tries to sell the PS3 to early adopters, especially considering the jolt that the value of the PlayStation brand must have taken after the console's price was announced. However, we have to point out an obvious contradiction in his words. Wasn't it Phil Harrison that said a few days ago that the PS3 will make the PC irrelevant? Who are we supposed to believe: Phil's harsh words for the PC, or O'Hanrahan's word of warning about PCs being "back" (in town)?
