Reggie is getting a bit of a grilling

[Guts]

Yeah, it's probably a delibereate marketing thing. They want every media outlet to show the controller, not the box under the TV, after all a box is just a box.

Hah, Reggie just said this exact same thing. "A box is just a box."

[abigsmurf]

Food for thought:

The PS3 and PSV could do everything the Wii U can do.

Let's hope his wife doesn't hear that comment....

[Neon Ignition]

The important thing is that they could, but they won't. Sony can't rely on everyone having both sets of hardware, Nintendo will be able to.

No they couldn't.

They can't do Mario.

Good on Geoff for giving him a bit of a grilling. He's gone up in my estimations after that.

what was it all about? in a nutshell.

[Spatial]

Pressing him on downwards sales figures for the Wii, the 3DS launch titles not meeting expectations, online, who's onboard for WiiU development. And he kept pressing.

Reggie seemed to squirm a bit and last go off look like he could have grabbed him. Best moment where he answered a question by almost shouting "GEOFF....!!"

[Matt]

Sounds like proper journalism. A rarity in the games world.

[abigsmurf]

He pressed on a lot of areas Reggie didn't want to deviate from what was said at the conference.

Pressed on the disc format (not blu ray, larger than DVD), specs of the console, if it was more powerful than current gen, how they're catering for 'hardcore', 3DS sales.

Reggie didn't let anything slip but he did crack at one point

[abigsmurf]

[MartyG]

So, all Sony need to do is allow Vita to communicate with PS3 and they've just released PS3-U.

I was very confused with that press conference, I thought it was just a Wii add-on at first. Interesting idea, but the big question is just how much is this all going to cost?

[Flabio]

I'm not sold on it, and I'm not sure who is going to be.

Why *not* go Blu-Ray with it? That makes no sense.

[Spatial]

Proprietary tech means no licensing fees = more $$$$$
